A mulher vítima de violência doméstica no município de Teresina - PI: uma análise de autos processuais do primeiro semestre de 2018

Abstract

In Brazil, violence against women is a problem that had long been neglected by legislation and the government. Today, almost 14 years after the Maria da Penha Law was sanctioned, an instrument that aims to curb this problem and offer protection to the victim, the number of women suffering every day at the hands of their aggressors is still alarming. Therefore, it is essential to study this phenomenon, so that the protection of the victim becomes more effective. In this way, the present work aimed to identify and analyze the social context in which the victims of domestic violence are inserted in the city of Teresina - PI. It is known that domestic violence does not choose its victims, however the discussion proposed by this work relates only to frequency as which it occurs in certain contexts to better understand it. This is a research with quantitative approach, and the procedure, bibliographic and documentary. The data collection instrument was the consultation of a sample of 18 (eighteen) cases from the 5th Criminal Court of Teresina, initiated in the first semester of 2018. There was a higher frequency of judicial cases in Teresina in relation to adult women, brown women, inserted in the labor market, with complete higher education, among other aspects. However, this cannot be considered a closed profile, compared to several other identified realities, although less frequently. Thus, the universe of contexts to be studied is vast, which will certainly help to understand and therefore combat this problem.
