Women violence, a relevant social and Public Health problem, has gained global expression in contemporary society with its complexity and challenges. In Brazil, the passing of the bill Lei Maria da Penha (11.340/2006) represents an achievement of the women movement and an advance in search for solution. Among the challenges legal of the implementation of the law reflexive groups has been attempted as a strategy of referral of men reported as violence perpetrators who volunteer to participate in search for sentence mitigation in case of conviction. Objectives: The present work aims at reflecting on the contribution reported by the study participants as members of the reflexive group and the meanings generated by the experience towards their affective marital relations along with the gender stereotype deconstruction. Method: This is a qualitative research study from a thematic oral story perspective with seven men reported as violence perpetrators under the Lei Maria da Penha participating in the Reflexive Group in the city of Sao Paulo. In depth thematic scripted interviews were carried out. Statements were transcribed and interpreted in the light of violence, gender and masculinities literature, in consonance with discourse analysis, that contemplates the idea of the social locus of discourse terrain. Results and Discussion: On arrival the group of men refers strangeness and mismatch for not perceiving themselves as violence perpetrators given the social connotation of the label assaulter and criminal. Given the openness and continuous flow present in the reflexive groups there is acceptance of different discourses, not restrictive to coordinators, but also of those generated by all members of the group. Thus the interviewees perceive the group as of the second meeting as a rich space of interlocution and see meaningfulness in their participation. Change was identified in their concepts of women violence at first attributed to solely to severe physical assault alongside with new attitude concerning gender and affective marital conflicts. Originally seen as natural, such conflicts are then perceived as markers of potential violence occurrence and report risk. Hence, irrespective of socio-professional category and schooling level, all studied men refer the participation in the group as significant contributor to the identification of personal strategies for prevention of such kind of conflict both with the present or new partners. Their discourse displays such strategies in the search of flexibility and re signification of relationships. Conclusion: The present study brings into focus the marked contribution of reflexive Groups towards the deconstruction of gender stereotypes and hegemonic masculinity in our society. It enables men to exercise novel understanding of the meaning of Lei Maria da Penha and its importance in the combat against women violence. This work also puts in evidence that the broadening of the social and juridical scope of Reflection Groups demands both the deepening of a few themes identified as crucial. It highlights the clear relevance of such groups for the enforcement of the law and the need for its official inclusion in the public policy of combat against women violence. Key terms: Lei Maria da Penha, women violence, perpetrator, masculinities, gender.
