Inovação no enfrentamento da violência política contra a mulher: análise da Lei n. 14.192/2021 e estudo de caso

Abstract

The general objective of this research is to verify, in practice, the effects of the application of Law 14.192/2021, which aims to punish, combat and curb conduct of political violence against women, in cases brought before the regional electoral courts and the higher courts (Federal Supreme Court, Superior Court of Justice and Superior Electoral Court). As specific objectives, the aim is to identify the details of how the bill that gave rise to Law 14.192/2021 was processed, which amendments were proposed and the justifications given for those that were not approved; to search for case law produced after the publication of this law on cases of political violence against women, to analyze the case files found through the lens of Judith Butler's gender studies and the understanding of male domination theorized by Pierre Bourdieu, as well as other authors whose works are relevant to the subject. The study used bibliographical research and qualitative documentary analysis of the processes found in the established geographical area. As a result of the research, in the period from august 4, 2021 to october 6, 2024, one of the relevant findings was that, in the whole of Brazil, there were only 12 reports of possible political violence against women. In the end, it can be inferred that Law 14.192/2021 contributes to curbing, punishing and combating political violence against women, however, it is not enough on its own to prevent political violence against women and achieve equality between men and women in politics
