Abordagens restaurativas no enfrentamento ao assédio sexual nas instituições de ensino:

uma reflexão a partir da relação professor-aluna

Abstract

Starting from the context of the Brazilian criminal justice system, this article proposes a reflection on restorative approaches to sexual harassment in educational institutions based on the analysis of a specific case in a teacher-student relationship. Crossing bibliographical research, situational analysis and case study, the power relations between teacher and student are problematized in a dual sense: on one hand, the restorative approach provides a broad vision, including a structural one, of the problem by considering the interdisciplinarity and the multifocus of relations as potency of transformation of behaviors and culture; on the other hand, the well-founded fear of re-victimization and the reproduction of new inequalities and violence. The restorative approach proposed here surpasses the merely critical or diagnostic discussions of privatization or romanticization of the conflicts, encompassing and recognizing structural violence and the capacity of choice and agency, since they cross transversally in the context of gender conflicts.
