ENFRENTAMENTO A VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A MULHER NO ESTADO DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL: análise das Políticas Públicas (2015 a 2021)

Abstract

Violence against women is a social problem that affects all layers of the population, regardless of age, religion and/or education. According to data made available by international bodies, such as the United Nations (UN), the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, which demonstrate that violence against women is a global problem. Still according to these data, there is an increase in the number of cases, which puts women at risk and vulnerability. Thus, their fundamental rights are not protected as provided for in the legislation, it is emphasized that a dignified life must be protected by public policies to combat violence. In the State of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) there was an increase in cases of violence against women in 2019 and in 2020 there was a decrease, but it is hypothesized that due to the difficulty of the victim in denouncing his aggressor due to social isolation to contain the spread of the COVID 19 virus, these significant numbers of cases of violence against women in MS justify the development of this research. To this end, it was established as a question whether the public policies to combat violence against women, implemented in the Ministry of Health, comply with the guarantees provided for in the Treaties and in the internal legislation? As a general objective, we propose a survey and analysis of public policies to combat violence in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, from 2015 to 2021. Therefore, the methodological approach to be used will be qualitative and quantitative, in an exploratory and descriptive way, using bibliographical and documental analysis, dialoguing with authors who approach the theme of the area and the like. As a partial result of the research, it was observed that the public policies to combat violence against women existing in the State of MS partially meet the needs, since the rates of cases of violence increase daily, requiring a constant expansion of programs aimed at raising awareness of the victim, of the aggressor and family restructuring, with the aim of preventing recidivism and, when necessary, increasing the number of complaints. Also, the need to maintain investments in public policies is highlighted, however, in recent years there have been cuts in funds aimed at combating violence against women. In this direction, it is suggested the expansion of education for citizenship, aiming at a culture of peace, as an instrument for raising awareness and transforming society, eradicating any violence, especially against women.
