Desfinanciamento das políticas públicas de enfrentamento à violência contra a mulher.

Abstract

This monographic study analyzes public policies aimed at combating domestic and family violence against women in Brazil, focusing on their effectiveness in the context of state underfunding and in light of the principles established by the Maria da Penha Law. The research seeks to verify whether, in a scenario of reduced public investment and increasing rates of gender-based violence, existing public policies are capable of providing adequate protection for women. To achieve this objective, the study adopts the dialectical method combined with a hermeneutic approach, based on bibliographic and documentary research, including the analysis of legislation, scholarly works, scientific articles, official reports, and statistical data. The findings demonstrate that, although the Maria da Penha Law represents a significant advancement in the protection of women's rights, insufficient funding for public policies undermines the effectiveness of the network designed to combat violence, hindering the implementation of preventive, assistance, and repressive measures. It is concluded that the underfunding of public policies weakens the protection of women in situations of violence and highlights the need for greater state investment to strengthen mechanisms for prevention, protection, and the promotion of gender equality.
