Feminicídio no Brasil: Uma análise jurídica e social das mudanças promovidas pelo pacote antifeminicídio na legislação penal brasileira

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the legal and social changes resulting from Law No. 14,994/2024, known as the Anti-Femicide Package, This study examines Brazilian legislation aimed at combating gender-based violence. It begins with the observation that femicide, as an extreme form of violence against women, remains a serious social problem rooted in a patriarchal and unequal culture. A qualitative approach and deductive method are adopted, based on bibliographic and documentary research, using laws, scientific articles, institutional reports, and recent statistical data as primary sources. In this context, the study seeks to understand the impacts and effectiveness of the changes introduced by the new legislation, especially the transformation of femicide into an autonomous criminal offense and the tightening of sanctions. The results show significant normative advances, but also reveal practical limitations related to the application of the law, the lack of structure in the justice system, and the absence of integrated public policies. It concludes that, although the Anti-Femicide Package represents an important milestone in the protection of women, its effectiveness depends on the implementation of preventive, educational, and cultural actions that combat the structural causes of gender-based violence.
