The qualitative research has been realised through the participation of the guests of some rehabilitation centres, that are managed by social associations, and it is oriented to show the fundamental characteristics of “being a female body” feeling between sexuality and motherhood. In this second part, we want understand if the motherhood desire survives in such situation and all the more if, on one hand, it is a resilience factor against the suffered violence and/or, on other hand, it is a risk factor in relation with the lack of conscience about the male violence. |
