Abstract

This study aims to analyze the applicability of Restorative Justice in cases of domestic violence, particularly through the experience of the Círculo Lilás Project, developed by the 8th Public Prosecutor’s Office of Picos-PI, Brazil. The research seeks to understand how restorative practices, especially peacebuilding circles, can contribute to conflict resolution and reduce recidivism rates. The study presents the historical development of the legal treatment of domestic violence in Brazil, the consolidation of Restorative Justice, and the use of circles as instruments of dialogue, reflection, and accountability. Findings indicate that the Círculo Lilás Project has produced positive effects for both victims and offenders, fostering awareness of the causes of violence and enhancing the effectiveness of protective measures. It is concluded that the application of restorative practices represents a significant advancement in addressing domestic violence by promoting a more human and integrative approach to conflict resolution.
