A violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher e a efetividade do poder público no cumprimento da Lei nº 11.340/2006: uma análise crítica acerca da aplicação das medidas protetivas de urgência à luz do estudo de casos.

Abstract

This work will analyze domestic and family violence against women and the application, by the Government, of emergency protective measures in cases involving this issues. Through it, we will seek to understand the origin and characteristics of violence against women in domestic and family environments from the Brazilian social and historical context. It will reflect on how patriarchy and male domination in society greatly influenced the tolerance of aggression against female bodies. In addition, it will study the legal act nº 11.340/2006, with regard to its historical context, progresses, the ways in which this type of violence may manifest itself and, in particular, the protective injunction measures presented in this legal act. Thus, this work aims to critically analyze whether the Public Power is able to give effectiveness to the protective measures and other provisions imposed by the Legislation in the different contexts of violence among which these rules are applied. In order to achieve this, a bibliographic research was carried out on papers, articles, dissertations, theses, official documents and statistical data, in addition to the study of cases collected through the report prepared by the Observatory of the Center for the Defense of Women of the State Public Defender’s Office of Bahia. The work will demonstrate, through this research, that domestic and family violence against women is a social problem that needs to be addressed, and alternative proposals will be suggested, based on the analysis of cases, in order to generate greater effectiveness to protective injunction measures for women, aiming to refrain acts of violence against those victims.
