Casa dentro: espaço de acolhimento para mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica

Abstract

This work proposes Casa Dentro, a shelter for women experiencing domestic violence and their children, located in Goiânia, Brazil. The project integrates temporary housing, shared living spaces, and therapeutic activities, aiming to contribute to the restoration of its residents’ autonomy. The research discusses domestic violence against women in Brazil, with a focus on the state of Goiás and the city of Goiânia, highlighting its structural and persistent nature while recognizing shelters as an essential strategy for immediate protection and for breaking the cycle of violence. Based on the analysis of data, public policies, and architectural references focused on shelter and well-being, the project explores the potential of architecture as a tool for protection and care, proposing spaces that reconcile safety, privacy, social interaction, and contact with nature.
