Um estudo comparado sobre intervenções junto a homens autores de violência doméstica em estados do Nordeste

Abstract

The Maria da Penha Law, enacted in 2006, besides prioritizing the attention to women in situations of violence, establishes prevention strategies and confrontation of domestic violence from initiatives directed also to men who are authors of violence (known in Brazil by the Portuguese acronym, HAV). This research aims at intervention policies carried out with these men in 5 states in the Northeast region (MA, PI, RN, AL and SE). We aim to analyze how the development of these policies has taken place, especially the attention given by these programs to the issue of recidivism among their participants. This is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research using as methodology the technique of content analysis, through instruments such as questionnaires and interviews. The results found, based on the specialized literature, aim to discuss the way these interventions have been conducted in the Northeast and how they may or may not contribute to confronting violence against women.
