MACHO NA RODA: combating violence against women through cyberfeminism in Belém-PA

Abstract

The present article brings the cut of a case study that aimed to understand the motivations that drove the cyberactivism of the feminist page on Facebook Macho na Roda-Belém, page that presents itself as a space in which women who were violated in some way by men felt safe for anonimously report on their dramatic experiences in order to alert other women about the risks that this man represents. Among the various aspects of the page analyzed, we highlight in this article the motivations and experiences of the women who sent the anonymous reports, called rapporteurs. The analysis of the interviews with the rapporteurs occurs essentially in the light of the concept of inhibiting factors of Montserrat Sargot and the perspectives of the victims as revealed by Howard Zehr.
