Abstract

Domestic violence is involved in a social structure developed in a social body of macho and patriarchal origin which, in Brazil, has expanded since the colonization process. The issue of aggression against women in the domestic space is essential, given that the female image is placed in inequality before men over the centuries. Along with the advance of the pandemic, which was triggered by the new Corona virus, women fatally suffered compared to the general population, since isolation allowed them to increase in different ways the exposure to practices of violence, reaching the atypicality of the situation in that humanity has been exposed to, in view of this, it is of great importance to question the reactions of the COVID-19 pandemic with a principle in confronting domestic violence and what measures are used to combat such practices, as well as the trends that the problem points to. There are currently government measures in the country against domestic violence, but in Brazil this index is still high, especially in the pandemic period, where families with the quarantine lived longer in the family environment, which was reflected in an increase in domestic aggression in worrying dimensions, demonstrating a need for new attitudes and measures to combat it. The present research has as its general objective the study of domestic violence against women during the coronavirus pandemic, based on the analysis of Law 11340/2006 and its amendments and the public policies created to curb the practice of this crime. In turn, it has the specific objectives of analyzing the historical context of violence against the female figure; the existing types of domestic violence; demonstrate data on domestic violence and existing public policies; present a brief explanation of Law 11.340/2006 (Maria da Penha Law); present data on domestic violence in the pandemic period as well as public policies created during the period. The work will use a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory method of procedure, being of the bibliographic type with discussion in a descriptive-analytical study through theoretical research. With the progress of the calamity introduced by the Covid-19 pandemic, it was possible to notice an increase in violence within the family. The approval of Law 14.022/2020 meant a great advance in the fight against domestic violence during the new Corona virus pandemic, but such measures were not enough to reduce or keep the number of cases stable, demonstrating that there is still a long way to go in the enforcement of existing laws. It is concluded that in order to guarantee the effectiveness of the Maria da Penha Law, it is necessary to create new preventive actions, as well as maintaining the existing ones, so that greater awareness can be generated in society and equal rights for all.
