Abstract

The author outlines her trajectory of intimate coexistence with the violence and the consequences inflicted on the mind and body of all the people who are involved in them. With examples from Mozambique, South Africa and Rwanda and violence linked to war, hunger, HIV / AIDS and gender, she articulates, through fragments of her experiences, the different layers and forms of violence that afflict the most unprotected. The approach of physical violence, structural violence, symbolic violence and its various combinations destroy human beings and, above all, those who have to live with the multiplicity of their forms. The proposal is to find ways to develop a new ethic of citizenship, empathy and solidarity that seeks to disarm these violences.
