Abstract

This study aims to understand the conceptions of paternity of men who respond to a legal process under the Maria da Penha Law. Three online focus groups were held, totalizing 21 participants. As a result of the Thematic Analysis, four main themes were obtained: Paternity and Gender, Educate, Fathers and their Fathers and Remarkable Moments. There was an emphasis on conceptions of fatherhood permeated by affection, presence and care, but also authority and material provision. Furthermore, the reports of father’s experiences with their own fathers promoted reflections about transgenerationality both through repetition and desire for changes. It is necessary to look at men who are perpetrators of violence against women also as fathers so as not to reduce them to the violent act. The need for studies that address paternity and its exercise in contexts of violence is highlighted.
