Lei n.º 14.188/21 aplicabilidade da lei em casos de violência psicológica e o programa sinal vermelho.

Abstract

This monograph aims to analyze the challenges and limitations in the application of Law No. 14.188/21 and the Red Flag Program in protecting victims of psychological violence, seeking to understand its effectiveness, evaluate its impacts, and assess female participation in the campaigns. The central problem is that psychological violence, despite being classified as a crime, remains difficult to identify and prove, making it difficult to hold perpetrators accountable and effectively protect victims. This study used a qualitative bibliographical approach and a deductive method, based on books, articles, dissertations, theses, and legal documents. The results show that, although Brazil has made progress with the Maria da Penha Law No. 11,340/06 and Law No. 14,188/21 and the incorporation of the Red Signal Program, psychological violence still represents a structural challenge, rooted in historical, cultural and social inequalities. It was found that its effectiveness depends not only on the regulatory framework, but also on the ongoing training of professionals involved, the integration of the protection network, and the engagement of civil society. It is concluded that tackling gender-based violence requires permanent, intersectoral, and coordinated public policies capable of guaranteeing dignity, safety, and justice for women.
