Violence Against Women Case Study

In the entire country, the patriarchal and sexist culture is experienced in society and still see the problem of domestic and family violence as simply "fight of husband and wife" in an attempt to restrict violence against women only to the familiar environment (SILVA, 2011, p. 53).
This thought only reinforces the cultural and sexist question that over the time has subjected the woman to domination and masculine strength, differentiating the gender painful and inhumane way. It 's what Safiotti (2004, p. 44) considers of "domination-exploitation regime of women by men."
To Barsted (2009), the level of acceptability of gender violence is high because of the crime not culturally assumed.

Gender violence against women has been largely a forgotten

Social movements, feminist and women questioned forms of social organization and made complaints of the consequences that are generated by the inequality between men and women, pointing out the demands of public policies to prevent and combat violence (AQUINO, 2009).
From the early 2000s, the orientation of the Brazilian State has been towards expansion of networks of services beyond the women‘s precincts. Since the creation of the first the women‘s precincts, were conducted several studies on violence against women and the services provided by the states, including the police woman.
With the establishment of the Maria da Penha‘s Law, which has been introduced in September 〖22〗^th, 2006, there was a breakthrough in fighting violence against women. According to Dias (2011), the creation of the Law No. 11.340 / 2006, became punishments stricter against the perpetrators, and, above all ended with the omission and the feeling of impunity that were treated this type of violence.
This law brought in its wake aspects of prevention, protection and punishment and defined in Art. 5, violence against women as "any act or omission based on gender that causes her death, injury, physical, sexual or psychological and moral damage or equity "(BRAZIL, 2006,

312 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which says:

Preventive detention may be ordered as a guarantee of public order, economic order, for convenience of the criminal process, or to ensure the application of criminal law, when there is proof of the crime and sufficient indication of authorship (BRAZIL, 1941). Preventive detention may also be ordered in the event of breach of any of its obligations under other precautionary measures (Art. 282, § 4).

Warily, the rapporteur denied the defendant the right to respond to the process in freedom, due to distasteful reiteration, and the prerequisite to protect the victim as well as the fact that the defendant has failed to comply with urgent protective measures. Note that the guidance given by Maria da Penha‘s Law is to preserve women in situations of domestic or family violence.
Accordingly many advances have occurred even greater awareness and discussion by the government and civil society on the whole complexity involved in such violence. However, other measures need to be implemented, to women who have been re-victimized could receive more effective assistance facing the new situation of violence
