Abstract

Domestic and family violence against women, approached by the Law 11.340/6, continues integrating one of most important subjects in the contemporary legal world. Thus, one decade after the appearance of this rule, it should be questioned: is the Maria da Penha Law effective inside Brazilian legal system? As a hypothesis, yes, although it identifies, also, many operational difficulties due to the lack of needed public policies. Therefore, this investigation has as mainly objective: to analyze the level of effectiveness of the norm at the national, state and local level. Consequently, we use, as approach method, the deductive, starting from an overview to a more targeted, aided by the method of historical and evolutionary procedure, using the bibliographical research technique and indirect documentary. The theme demonstrate social and legal relevance, since the relative question to its effectiveness and efficiency is discussions center in academic circles, in civil society and in Brazilian jurisprudential scenario, where is possible to notice that the law aims to control the bad faced by women around the country, leaving evident that the current situation still needs public policies which allow effective violence control, searching a reprimand to aggressors more quickly and effectively and, before that, objecting preventive and effective steps, reaching, this way, a state where men and women coexist in a more egalitarian way, and women can feel safe and free of this terrible effects produced by family and domestic violence.
