Percepções feministas sobre os serviços de responsabilização e educação para homens autores de violência contra as mulheres

Abstract

Since the 1980s, works have been cataloged worldwide with men who perpetrated violence against women as a strategy for addressing this serious form of violation of human rights. In Brazil, the debates about education and accountability services to men perpetrators of violence gained strength from the edition of Law No. 11.340 / 2006 - Maria da Penha Law that, in its core, incorporated such perspective. However, feminist literature on the subject is still scarce, not only because it is recent, but mainly because it has never been central to feminist and women's movements. In an attempt to minimize this gap, I seek to analyze feminist perceptions about the accountability and education services for men who have committed violence against women. To this end, I use document analysis and semi-structured and semi-directional interviews conducted with people who identify themselves as feminists and with participation work in the formulation / monitoring processes of the Maria da Penha Law or implementation of these services and programs. In the end, besides pointing to the insufficiency of the punitive answers given by the criminal justice system, I present fundamental aspects to the construction of a solid and effective model of intervention with male perpetrators of violence.
