Violência contra a mulher: análise jurídica e social em serviço de atenção a mulher – estudo de caso no bairro da Cidade Universitária em Maceió/AL

Abstract

Aggression against women is a type of violence that occurs systematically throughout the region of Brazilian state. It is an example of violation of human dignity and fundamental rights. Law 11,340 of August 7, 2006, also known as the Maria da Penha Law, strongly reinforces that domestic and family violence against women is one of the form of human rights violations. This research was carried out in the city of Maceió, Alagoas. Given the context addressed, it aims to highlight statistics as an indicator of violence against women in the Cidade Universitaria neighborhood, as well as to carry out a survey of this violence, present demographic characteristics of the women served, propose a model for the plan and accountability accounts to the Women's Support Center. The justification for this work is given by the fact that violence against women is considered worrying as to the dignity of the human person. The methodology adopted will be through a survey related to the research theme, classified as descriptive, quantitative, where it was possible to conduct a survey involving the socio, economic, demographic, environmental, cultural, legal and also religious issues, as well as qualitative. An accountability plan was drawn up based on the activities carried out at the Center for the Support of Women Center for the Defense of Women’s Rights -CDDM) for the purpose of better financial monitoring. As a conclusion, it is observed that violence against women still has patriarchal roots, it does not occur omly in the less favored classes, it occurs in all social classes. Arguments such as unemployment, a high number of children, low education, among others, contribute to the non-formalization of the complaint as a result of the crime suffered, either due to fear or even the assistance to these victims in the places responsible for the restraint of the crime often cases occur where they are taken to the police station to draw up the police report and the victim ends up not continuing the process. It is worth highlighting the assessment of the CDDM victims of violence against women, which carries out a work that seeks to ensure the rights of these women, who were often exposed for cultural and historical reasons in circumstances of inferiority. Thus, it is reinforced that, for the Maria da Penha law to be effective, the performance of state agencies in several areas (Public Ministry, Judiciary, police authorities) is important.
