RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND FEMINISM: A TRANSFORMATIVE DIALOGUE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Abstract

The present research seeks to analyze the application of Restorative Justice in cases of gender violence, exploring potentialities and challenges within the feminist context. The research aims to examine how restorative practices can contribute to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of victims of domestic and family violence. To achieve this objective, a qualitative methodology was adopted, with a bibliographic review of theories on Restorative Justice and feminism, as well as data analysis on the application of these practices. The work showed that Restorative Justice is a valuable tool to promote a more humanized model of justice, by allowing the victim to play an active role in repairing the damage and holding the aggressor accountable. The work suggests that the implementation of these practices should be closely monitored by specialized technicians to ensure that they are effective and safe for victims.
