Abstract

This article analyzed the role of the Casa da Mulher Brasileira in Campo Grande/MS in addressing domestic violence against women, considering it as both a cultural and social issue. The objective was to demonstrate how this institution operates in protecting and supporting victims, integrating psychological, legal, and social assistance as established by the Maria da Penha Law. The justification for this research lies in the importance of public policies focused on the security and dignity of women, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach to effectively combat gender-based violence. The adopted methodology was qualitative and descriptive, employing documentary analysis and a literature review on domestic violence and protective policies. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the Casa da Mulher Brasileira in Campo Grande/MS plays a fundamental role in protecting and empowering women, promoting integrated actions that exemplify a governmental response to combating gender-based violence. However, despite advancements, challenges remain, such as expanding preventive and educational policies that address the cultural roots of violence, promoting a structural change in society.
