Although there is no consensus, some events linked to abuse committed against women have already been mapped, these are frequently associated to attempts at punishment for acts which the partner judges to be transgressions of the traditional rules imposed on the family, and which many times are backed by financial and emotional dependence as well as the fragile social support for some victims (2) .…”

“…12 This perception was also pointed out in a study carried out in Uganda, which findings indicate that men and women connect the aggressions to the women's posture, such as: neglecting to take care of children; not preparing the food; denying sex; leaving without the permission of the spouse or contesting him in public. 13 The fact that the woman does not dedicate herself to the partner and/or does not take care of the domestic tasks was also recognized by family members of women in situations of violence as justifiable reason for aggression. 14 This situation is based on the uneven construction of gender, which stipulates that men are holders of power and reason, while women must assume a role of passivity and subservience.…”
