O combate ao feminicídio na cidade de Manaus a partir da política pública de enfrentamento ao descumprimento das medidas protetivas da Lei Maria da Penha

Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyze the fight against femicide in the city of Manaus, based on the public policy to fight non-compliance with the protective measures provided for in the Maria da Penha Law. For this, it was essential to understand the reasons for violence against women, especially femicide; outline the initial framework of international and national legislation to combat violence against women; know the public policies derived from this social problem, especially with regard to the role of the network to combat domestic and family violence against women in the city of Manaus and; to statistically analyze the data referring to domestic violence, protective measures and feminicides, collected from the competent bodies. The methodology used was the hypothetical-deductive method, regarding the means the research was bibliographical, descriptive, explanatory and field, regarding the purposes, quali-quantitative. The result of the research is that violence against women is a multi-causal factor of which femicide is one of its reflexes. In this context, it is possible to affirm in a macro analysis that despite the effectiveness of the protective measures of the Maria da Penha Law, protecting women who sought the support network and were under the protection and monitoring of the Ronda Maria da Penha Program (responsible for monitoring compliance with protective measures), these alone were not enough to prevent the advance of femicide in the city of Manaus. Among the reasons, the victims' lack of record of occurrences, the failure to maintain protective measures and police monitoring stand out, as well as the absence of any other procedure that could be computed by the network for coping with domestic and family violence against the woman.
