RESUMO

This study investigated gender-related violence in 12 family health staffs in Araraquara city. The objectives were to get to know and to analyze, from the gender perspective: the health professionals point of view about man and woman, the professionals´ perceptions about gender-related violence and the contradictions that exist in the professionals´ conceptions about woman, man and violence against woman. Data were collected during a workshop and the content was analyzed through two different empirical categories: "man and woman in the same social boat" and "gender-related violence". The more relevant themes related to the object of this study received more attention, and were included in two analytical categories: gender and gender-related violence. The results showed that the participants do not perceive gender-related violence as something that comes from the social construction of masculinity and femininity. They do have a critical view about those processes of social construction, but they still have conservative opinions about man and woman´s roles: the provider-man and the reproducer-woman; and this is in agreement with the common sense. Discussions about gender-related violence follow the same pattern: with conservative and transforming perceptions at the same time. This mixture of different positionings shows the need to broaden the professional qualifications to deal with this complex, still common, reality of domestic violence inside the territories of the Brazilian Family Health Program
