Entre vulnerabilidades e riscos : uma análise das medidas protetivas no enfrentamento à violência doméstica e familiar contra as mulheres em Alagoas

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze whether protective measures are effective instruments for the protection of girls and women, particularly in preventing cases of femicide. Additionally, it examines their role in asserting prevention, combat, assistance, and access to rights for women in addressing violence. To this end, initially analyzed international and national instruments, especially the Maria da Penha Law, as well as other documents that underpin the Policy to Combat Violence against Women. We also considered the perspective of intersectionality and feminist criminology in order to better understand women's narratives. Simultaneously, a literature review on gender-based violence and the application of protective measures, with a focus on the state of Alagoas, was carried out. It was possible to observe that violence against women disproportionately affects Black women with lower educational attainment, and the majority of the perpetrators are partners or former partners. In the second phase, a field study was conducted in various institutions within the Alagoan confrontation network. Interviews were conducted using a structured form to capture professionals' perceptions of emergency protective measures. The goal is to investigate whether there are obstacles hindering the effectiveness of protective instruments for women in Alagoas.
