A EFETIVIDADE DAS MEDIDAS PROTETIVAS DE URGÊNCIA NA LEI MARIA DA PENHA

Abstract

Domestic and family violence against women constitutes a serious violation of human rights and a persistent challenge for the Brazilian legal system. Law No. 11,340/2006, known as the Maria da Penha Law, established emergency protective measures and a multidisciplinary support network aimed at the immediate protection of victims. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of these measures, considering their practical implementation, the main obstacles faced, and their impact on preventing recurrence of violence. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with theoretical review and analysis of secondary data, including jurisprudence and official reports. The resultsindicate that, although the legislation is robust, obstacles such as judicial delays, lack of infrastructure and trained professionals, institutional revictimization, and intersectional inequalities compromise effective protection. It is concluded that the full effectiveness of protective measures depends on the articulation between legislation, the judiciary, support networks, and consistent public policies, ensuring safety, autonomy, and social justice for women.
