This article presents an experience report about the difficulties faced by an undergraduate student of the bachelor's degree in Geography at the Federal Institute of Bahia (IFBA), to elaborate her final term paper, addressing the theme of gender issues, particularly on domestic violence against women. Given the need to seek for transforming and combating some conceptions rooted in this patriarchal, chauvinist, sexist and racist society, it is essential to put in the center of the academic discussions and reflections issues that afflict women, since the University is an important space for the deconstruction of paradigms. In this sense, this article aims to "provoke" Geography teachers and students to think/research on this subject. Such themes are not only important, but fundamental and should be treated/discussed in academic spaces, especially in the context of teacher training programs in Geography, which has as its object of study the geographical space and the relations between human beings and their environment. even demanding, therefore, that people who act as teachers be professionals prepared/formed to deconstruct "patriarchal" models and patterns that subdue and subjugate women.
