A tendência da violência doméstica contra a mulher no Brasil, no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19

Abstract

This study conducts an exploratory, qualitative and quantitative research on domestic violence against women in Brazil. It aims to analyze the trend of domestic violence against women in Brazil, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Bibliographic and documentary research was used as methodological procedure, having as empirical material that constitutes the research corpus, the analysis of documents that make up the socio-legal framework regarding the rights, protection and data of domestic violence in the country. Based on comparative analyzes of cases of domestic violence in the first half of 2019/2020, the present study corroborates that the Covid-19 pandemic generated a significant increase in crimes of violence against women, especially with regard to domestic violence. It is clear, therefore, that the history of women is still marked by a difficult scenario of violence and struggle to subvert the misogynistic logic that sustains (va) the domination power of Brazilian patriarchal society. Women are still constantly victims of aggression and mistreatment by members of their family, usually by their partners, a phenomenon that is further aggravated by the new coronavirus pandemic. However, it is believed that the increase in domestic violence against women, as a trend during the Covid-19 pandemic, can be reversed with the work of the social worker and an entire multidisciplinary team, in implementing a policy effective public policy to prevent violence against women and support those who have been victims, so that they can regain their autonomy and restore their dignity, contributing to reverse this growth trend in cases of domination and aggression that today translate into domestic violence and in femicide.
