SUMMARY:

Gender-based violence remains a persistent and alarming problem worldwide, and Brazil is no exception. Its recognition as a public issue is the result of decades of mobilization by feminist movements. Despite regulatory advances such as the Maria da Penha Law (2006) and the Femicide Law (2015), gaps in victim support services persist.
This ongoing thesis is based on a theoretical-methodological perspective that combines Social Studies of Science and Technology (ESCT) and Gender Studies, with the aim of understanding how feminist applications as social technologies are appropriated as instruments of empowerment and access to information. The analysis focuses on the trajectories, experiences, and organizational dynamics of the actors involved in the design, operation, and use of the Penhas and Todas por Uma apps. The research is anchored in Feenberg's concept of democratic rationalization and in what I call “feminist rationalization,” formulated from contributions by Donna Haraway and Judy Wajcman, whose proposal is based on an ethical-epistemological reorientation in the process of technology development, with the aim of subverting the hegemonic logic of technological production.
In terms of methodological procedures, the intention is to conduct semi-structured interviews with actors involved in the process of developing and maintaining the applications, in addition to analyzing the content of the materials made available and the interactions between users and assistants. The analysis will be carried out through triangulation between the perceptions and representations of the actions of the subjects involved, guided by Boltanski and Thévenot's (2020) model of justifications, which seeks to identify the moral values and justifications mobilized in the reports.
