Motivations for breaking the cycle of violence among women hosted in the Lilac Room of the Forensic Medical Institute in downtown Rio de Janeiro in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic

What motivates a woman in a situation of physical violence to file a police report and break the cycle of violence in which she was involved? The phenomenon of violence against women is complex and entails historical, religious, cultural, social, political, and economic factors that influence intimate and social relationships. To answer this problem question, a qualitative study was conducted based on interviews with fifteen adult women who had been physically assaulted and had been taken in by the Lilac Room Project at the Forensic Medicine Institute, Center RJ (Projeto Sala Lilás IML Centro RJ). The research took place in July 2022, while the pandemic was still underway and home confinement led to an increase in domestic violence. The findings show that the motivation for battered women to file a police report is not a reaction to the last episode of violence they suffered but a result of experiences throughout their lives that end up having an impact on their decision-making process
