APPLICATION OF PUBLIC POLICIES IN THE REDUCTION OF FEMICIDE IN GOIÁS: A STUDY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EFFECTIVENESS

Abstract

Domestic and family violence against women, due to gender, is a topic that is currently much discussed, due to the high incidence of the crime of femicide throughout the national territory. Aiming at the protection of women, victims of domestic and family violence, due to gender, the Maria da Penha Law and Law 13.104/2015 were approved, including the creation of public policies aimed at providing assistance, protection and support services to women victims of these types of violence. Thus, this research sought to analyze the influence of public policies to combat femicide in Goiás, based on bibliographic and statistical data, in order to understand the effectiveness of these policies and identify possible gaps. A qualitative approach was carried out, with data in public documents available in virtual environments of the legislation in force, especially SINESP and FBSP; Transparency Portal of the Government of Goiás. The results prove that the gender issue is a main factor in the registration of femicide occurrences. Even with the approval of laws to support women, many are victims of aggression, domestic and family violence, others lose their lives. It is considered of great importance the action of women's defense agencies to record any type of violence suffered, in order to intimidate the aggressor and prevent the realization of femicide.
