Abstract

ABSTRACT Law nº 11.340/06, better known as the Maria da Penha Law, is the most expressive diploma for the protection of women in Brazil today. In view of the high number of cases of domestic and family violence against women and femicide perpetrated over the years, it appears that this is the form of violence that most hurt women in our country, and also, it is a historical factor, since female subjugation comes from more remote times. The adoption of the Maria da Penha Law, the Feminicide Law and the various international human rights treaties to which Brazil is a signatory, as well as having to comply with other legal norms related to the matter, mean that we have tools to repress the different types of violence that affect two out of every three women in the world, however, despite all the advances and achievements of women, there is still much to be done in addressing gender inequality. Likewise, it is clear that despite public policies and legal control, cases of domestic violence and feminicide are growing in the country, which have serious consequences for society as a whole, since it is a security problem. public, health and economic, in view of the impact caused on the personal and professional lives of the victims. Keywords: Violence against Women. Femicide. Maria da Penha Law.
