SUMMARY:

Statistical data reveal the increase in the phenomenon of violence against women, especially Violent Deaths due to Undetermined Causes. Suicide is a phenomenon that is also growing among women, and it is known in the literature that, while men are the ones who commit suicide the most, women are the ones who have the most ideations and attempts at suicide. International studies indicate a strong relationship between a history of violence in women's lives and the propensity for suicidal behavior. Based on this reality, it is possible to raise the following questions: how does suicide appear as a concrete possibility for women in situations of violence? What is the horizon of meaning that links abused women to their plot, giving rise to the choice to end their own existence? The objective of this research, therefore, is to understand the meanings of giving up life for women in situations of violence. This study is configured as a phenomenological-hermeneutic research, based on Heideggerian ontology. Two women who experienced domestic violence and thought about and/or attempted suicide were interviewed. The narrative interview was used as an instrument, asking them to share their experiences. The analysis was based on a method inspired by the Heideggerian hermeneutic circle, considering the understanding-interpretation movement of doing research and the researcher's affectations. As a result, we noticed how finitude is always at stake in the participants' lives: whether through the power-to-die of violence, or the choice-to-die of suicide. The uprooting caused by violence radically restricts the possibilities of projecting oneself in time, making the anticipation of one's own death an alternative to the emptying of meaning in living. It is hoped that this research will enable an approximation of the experience of these women, in order to expand understandings that favor discussions and practices aimed at care and support for coping with the problem, considering the overlap between violence and mental health.
