Dignificação da oitiva de mulheres vítima de crimes sexuais: uma análise sobre a aplicabilidade do depoimento especial

Abstract

The present article analyzes the applicability of the special testimony procedure to women victims of sexual crimes, aiming to explore the extent of this tool originally intended for children and adolescents. Based on doctrinal and jurisprudential understanding, as well as national legal guidelines, the research is justified by the need to provide a more sensitive and supportive environment during the testimony, avoiding further harm to the victim. The method employed includes the analysis of legislation, jurisprudence, theses, and practical cases. As a result, it was found that the legal plausibility of this extension is concrete, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the respect and dignity of victims and ensuring fair case processing, regardless of age.
