The fight against domestic violence in East Timor involves a growing set of projects from the government, international aid and local organizations. This paper analyses the impact of these activities on local meanings of violence, trying to clarify some of the dilemmas of modernization in East Timor which may be seen in the conflicts between different senses of violence, body and gender. The contradictions of the process of prevention and education against domestic violence tell us about both private conflicts embodied in particular relations, and the current changes in Timorese society on a more general level, putting together different meanings of law, justice and the individual. Portuguese O combate a violencia domestica em Timor-Leste tem envolvido cada vez mais iniciativas do Estado, da cooperacao internacional e de organizacoes da sociedade civil daquele pais.

Ao mesmo tempo em que falam de conflitos privados, encarnados em corpos e relacoes particulares, as contradicoes do processo de combate a violencia domestica falam de mudancas em curso na sociedade timorense em nivel mais geral, articulando diferentes nocoes de direito, justica e individuo. French La lutte contre la violence domestique a Timor-Leste a chaque fois plus ete l'objet d'initiatives du gouvernement, de la cooperation internationale et des organisations locales de la societe civile. Ce texte analyse leur impact sur les representations locales de la violence, en mettant en evidence quelques dilemmes de la modernisation du pays, manifestes dans les conflits entre differentes significations de la violence, du corps et du genre. En meme temps que l'on parle de conflits prives, incarnes dans les corps et les relations entre particuliers, les contradictions du processus de lutte contre la violence domestique parlent, elles, de changements en cours dans la societe timoraise en general, dans les notions du droit, de la justice et de l'individu.
