Aplicação de Medidas Interventivas Voltadas a Homens Autores de Violência Contra as Mulheres: análise documental das decisões proferidas nos processos do STJ e STF

Abstract

This work deals with violence against women, a social and public health problem that is discussed worldwide, originated by several factors and that must be tackled in an interdicted way. The fight against gender violence is a complex and challenging issue, as it is embedded in male mentalities and behaviors. Legal and institutional mechanisms were created by the public authorities to protect victims, being the Maria da Penha Law (Law 11.340/2006), an achievement of the feminist movement and an important instrument in coping with domestic and family violence against women, which among others provides services for the care of the aggressor man, as a frequency of an education and recovery center, and its psychosocial follow-up, initiatives considered positive in the sense of transformation, deconstruction of values and overcoming conflicts and present themselves as a strategy to face violence. The judiciary has proved to be the main gateway to such services. This work aims to investigate, through processes that are being processed in the Superior Court of Justice and the Supreme Court in what circumstances, when and how the services of care for the man who are the perpetrators of violence, have been applied by the Brazilian courts, as well as how the decisions of these bodies interfere for the maintenance and restoration of interventions. This is a documentary research, with a qualitative, retrospective, descriptive and exploratory approach. The use of the documental analysis method through content analysis of judicial decisions is highlighted. Among the results and discussions found, it is verified that there is still resistance on the part of magistrates in the observance of judicial precedents and Law 11.340/2006, making necessary jurisprudential and legislative changes aimed at greater scope of services aimed at the aggressor man, as well as greater sensitization of judges in order to guide their decisions in favor of the effective transformation and deconstruction of values and protection of the victim.
