Abstract

The phenomenon of domestic violence and feminicide is frequently discussed in different parts and cultures around the world. Women subjected to a context of domestic violence against women is a problem that exists in different social, ethnic and economic classes, portraying that there is no distinction for women to be victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence against women manifests itself in several ways. The study points out that historical and cultural mechanisms maintain inequality between men and women in Brazil. In this sense, public policies play a fundamental role in combating violence against women. Despite legislative advances, such as the Maria da Penha Law nº 11.340/2006, domestic violence still prevails. The implementation of networks to combat domestic violence against women is also pointed out as an important measure by the work. This is because coping networks support and assist victims of domestic violence through a variety of means, including raising awareness and providing resources. In view of this, the work presents data on violence against women in Brazil and in the State of Mato Grosso for the years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, acquired through the Brazilian Public Security Forum, highlighting the importance of implementing networks to confront violence against women as a support mechanism for victims and a measure to combat family and domestic violence in Brazilian municipalities, as well as elucidating, based on bibliographical and legislative research, the functioning of the Network to Combat Domestic Violence against Women and the Specialized Police Station for the Defense of Women in Barra do Garças – MT.
