Abstract

This course conclusion work presents an analysis of the violence committed against the figure of/by women in the digital space, as a result of the social structure based on patriarchy and on the capitalist production way, that establish the hegemony of men to the detriment of women's subordination and objectification. With the advancement of technology, unequal gender relations were transferred to the digital space, allowing greater fluidity in the propagation of oppression and female bodies social control, ending in a massive incidence of gender violence. The general objective of this work is to analyze the role of Law in face of violence against women in the digital space, showing through a gender perspective, its contribution to the oppression and reification of the women's body and figure. This is a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, with emphasis on bibliographic research whose purpose is to answer the question: To what extent does the Law legitimize power relations against the figure of/by women in the digital space? Thus, there was a survey of the existing instruments in the Brazilian legal system regarding the jurisdictional protection of gender violence in the digital space, demonstrating the insufficiency of the Law as a normative system in the achievement of women's rights, since the Law's structure its also molded in the patriarchal-capitalist system, in other words, it endorses female oppression. At last, it was concluded that the production of specific sanctions/punishments opossed to aggressors is insufficient in face of violence against women, since the problem lies in the educational socialization of men and women.
