O papel do Estado frente a violência contra a mulher em Alagoas

Abstract

Women throughout their existence in society, in their different types, have been victims of different types of violence and discrimination, whether due to their race/ethnicity, gender, or the simple fact of being a woman. The present study aims to examine the role of the State in the face of violence against women in Alagoas. Furthermore, we intend to reflect on the historical process of perpetuating violence against women in capitalist society, identifying the State's intervention mechanisms and how this movement affects civil society. Violence is present in social relations between human beings in a historical way and is sometimes experienced as something common and natural, as an intrinsic form of the composition of society. The phenomenon of violence is inseparable from capital itself, presenting a functional and profitable character to the logic of its reproduction. In the context of gender, cisheteropatriarchal culture casts violence, control and domination over women's bodies. In Alagoas there is a significant number of violence against women in all areas, and it is up to the public authorities and the state government to promote investment in the development of public policies to assist women who are in vulnerable situations.
