Um estudo sobre a violência doméstica contra a mulher no Estado de Minas Gerais durante a pandemia do coronavírus

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the increase or decrease in cases of domestic violence against women that occurred during the pandemic, especially during the year 2020, which brought with it the advent of social isolation, using the State of Minas Gerais as a parameter. Therefore, the study aims to understand the cultural relationships that affect the coexistence between men, women and their families, in order to identify whether there is a connection of influence between these cultural relationships and cases of domestic violence, as well as the reasons that lead to such facts. to occur so often. We will adopt a qualitative analysis, carrying out a necessary description and exploration of the theme, with conceptual and theoretical rescues to situate the debate, exploring bibliographic-doctrinal, legal-legal studies, official statistics, as well as a critical analysis of the data obtained. What can be seen is that, with the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of a longer period of social isolation, there has been a decrease in records of cases of violence, especially reaching lower rates compared to other occasions, mainly against women, revealing worrying figures, while reaffirming various aspects that date back to machismo, misogyny and intolerance against women, highlighting factors that need to be faced, in the implementation of public policies to combat gender violence. Although the number of cases of domestic violence has decreased, this fact does not mean that there has been a reduction in violence and criminality against women, so it is worth discussing the silencing and other limitations on complaints by women, given the fact that the aggressor stayed at home longer.
