VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA AS MULHERES: uma análise jurídica sobre o feminicídio no Brasil

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the historical, social, and legal evolution related to genderbased violence, with a special focus on the classification of femicide. The research analyzes the context that led to the creation of Laws No. 13.104/2015 and No. 14.994/2024, the main advances brought about by this legislation, and the challenges still faced in its practical application. It highlights the persistence of high rates of female homicides motivated by gender reasons, evidencing structural flaws in public policies for prevention, protection, and accountability. The study also addresses the role of the State, the justice system, and the need for integrated and effective policies capable of reducing the recidivism of violence and guaranteeing the protection of victims. It concludes that, despite normative advances, confronting femicide in Brazil demands greater state investment, strengthening of reporting mechanisms, and continued social awareness campaigns.
