Abstract

This paper analyzes the effectiveness of protective measures and evaluates the knowledge we have of the effective regulations. The data analyzed were violence and crime rates presented in the state of Goiás, from 2011 to 2013, after the implementation of the Maria da Penha Law, in Goiânia, Goiás. For this, a brief historical survey was done in order to understand the events leading up to the enactment of the Maria da Penha Law and its protective measures that support women in situations of violence. Later, through the qualitative method and semistructured interview technique, professionals were interviewed from Delegacia Especializada no Atendimento à Mulher (DEAM), Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social (CREAS), Secretaria de Políticas para Mulheres e Promoção da Igualdade Racial (SEMIRA) and Centro de Valorização da Mulher (CEVAM) - which hosts and protects women in situations of violence - also women who had protective measures issued in the period defined by this paper. The results indicate how protection programs work in Goiânia and the complexity of relationships within their social relations. From the historical analysis and the relationship with the central categories that comprise this phenomenon of violence for instance its genesis, the women and feminist s movement, the sexual difference and the social inequality between men and women were considered by the impact from the Law n. 11,340-06 (Maria da Penha Law), which has the intention to eradicate violence, and the many challenges in the process of helping women who had suffered violence to cope with it. As well, professionals and care towards the women in situations of violence need to have an appropriate instruction and training. So for the responsible agencies in this matter it is required to establish professional training for the employees and for the customer service teams, based on the knowledge, interpretation, analysis and investigation of the Maria da Penha Law, in Goiânia, in order to establish its effectiveness.
