Abstract
This article is the result of a research process on the trajectory of victims of violence in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Its objective is to present the narratives about the meaning of participation in a network formed by family members of victims of violence. For that, it uses the interlocution with three women who are mothers and had their children murdered and / or imprisoned. The Network of Ceará Mothers appeared in mid-2018 due to the participation of these women in one of the editions of the National Meeting of Mothers and Family Members Victims of State Terrorism. It is possible to observe, through their reports, a web of emotions and motivations associated with the idea of struggle for recognition, memory and love. Data collection methodology included a discussion group with three members of the Ceará network and field observations made by the researchers.
