Resumo:This article discusses the press presentation on violence against women in Roraima, comparatively analyzing the data published by the Folha de Boa Vista newspaper and the assistance provided by the Specialized Police Service for Women (DEAM-RR), in 2016. The relevance lies in the understanding of violence against women as the result of an androcentric social construction, which favors an inequality that insists on remaining and that manifests itself, in the limit, through situations of violence. In the state of Roraima, for example, in every month of 2016 more than 200 calls were made at DEAM-RR. These data made it possible to establish the general objective, which was to compare DEAM-RR's service statistics with the news published in the Folha de Boa Vista newspaper. To achieve this objective, bibliographic and documentary research was used, with inquiries and analysis of data on violence against women in DEAM-RR and in the Folha de Boa Vista newspaper. The results revealed a quantitative discrepancy in cases of violence against women, since, while DEAM-RR carried out 2,863 visits throughout the year, Jornal Folha de Boa Vista reported only approximately 89 cases. In addition, there was a pattern in the publication of news on extreme violence. Thus, these extreme cases are only the trigger for a process of violence that began in a circumspect manner. Violence against women, and its fatal expression (feminicide) is not the result of something that happened overnight.
