“…Domestic violence is a global phenomenon that affects millions of women, and is a serious public health problem, because of its ability to compromise the health of all individuals involved, be they victims, attackers, or the general population. 1 In the private space, domestic violence occurs in the context of an intimate relationship. 2 Its definition is broad, and includes any type of violence in a relationship, and is not restricted to partners that are legally married, nor to the sex of the victim or perpetrator, yet it is more likely to occur when both partners live together or maintain frequent contact.…”

This was a phenomenological study undertaken at the Women's Police Station in Guarapuava in the Brazilian state of Paraná that aimed to understand the significance of living with the offender after filing a domestic violence report at the station. Data were collected by means of interviews with 14 women victims of domestic violence, who continued to live with their attackers after reporting them. The women's discourses were interpreted through the lens of the framework of French philosopher Maurice MerleauPonty. The results showed that the victims' body images were modified, distorted, and negative. Coexistence with the offenders was sustained through destruction and weakening of the victims' body image, thereby reducing their coping skills because they felt threatened, insecure, and inferior to the other, which perpetuated the cycle of violence. In conclusion, there is a need for professionals trained to capture the invisible beneath the visible, in order to take care of abused women in their multidimensionality.
