The increasing incidence of domestic violence cases in Brazil has emerged as one of the most pressing contemporary social issues, affecting women across all demographics. In rural areas, where inequalities are more pronounced, women face restrictions on land access, lack economic and social autonomy, and experience the undervaluation of their labor, making violence even more severe. This study is based on the hypothesis that rural women are in a subordinate socio-economic position and experience conditions of inequality. Therefore, this dissertation aims to analyze the role and strategies of the Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas (MMC, Peasant Women’s Movement) in addressing domestic violence against rural women. The research seeks to assess the historical process of oppression faced by rural women and the various forms of violence they endure. It aims to investigate how the MMC contributes to raising awareness and combating domestic violence against rural women, examining the actions and strategies adopted by the movement to ensure their access to fundamental rights, justice, and economic and social autonomy. Additionally, the study explores how this social movement integrates the struggle for agrarian and social rights with the promotion of gender equality and the fight against violence targeting rural women. According to the Comissão Pastoral da Terra (Pastoral Land Commission), violence against women in rural contexts has increased, rising from 94 recorded cases in 2022 to 107 in 2023, a number that has been growing since 2021. This trend highlights the urgency of the present analysis, particularly given the importance of social movements in amplifying the visibility of rural women. To achieve the proposed objective, the research employs a literature review methodology, grounded in feminist theories, particularly the works of scholars such as Heleieth Saffioti and Gerda Lerner. It also includes a documentary analysis of educational materials, reports, social media content, and academic works by MMC activists to contextualize rural women’s struggles through the lens of gender and human rights perspectives. Furthermore, to provide an empirical dimension to the research, official data on domestic violence and various forms of oppression have been incorporated. This study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the MMC's role as an agent of social transformation in rural areas, promoting equality and combating domestic violence.
