A Patrulha Rede De Frente - Mulher Protegida e os Grupos Reflexivos de Homens (GRH): instrumentos de acesso à justiça para as mulheres em situação de violência doméstica na Comarca de Barra do Garças/MT

Abstract

Domestic violence is a sociocultural issue arising from the feeling of ownership of men over women, the essence of patriarchy. Women's rights were only included in the social agenda in the 20th century, after the emergence of several feminist campaigns and unimaginable crimes, especially femicide. The Maria da Penha Law was enacted after Brazil was declared negligent with cases of domestic violence by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, legislation that fostered the expansion of public policies with the main objective of combating violence. At the regional level, the Rede de Frente project is the result of the sum of efforts of several public and private institutions, which made it possible to stabilize the rates of domestic violence in the region. In this way, through qualitative and quantitative research, enriched with bibliographical discussion, we sought to demonstrate the effectiveness of regional projects for the fulfillment of the Maria da Penha Law, as a means of access to justice, as propagated by Cappelletti and Bryan. In Barra do Garças/MT, the Network to Combat Domestic Violence against Women was created, with the development of the Reflexive Group for Men (GRH) and the Rede de Frente Patrol – Protected Women, projects that stabilized the rates of domestic violence in the city, both for awareness actions and for the effectiveness of the responses given after the violence. Such an institution effectively contributed to the stabilization of regional domestic violence, so that if implemented as a public policy, with its own resources, it could be even more assertive in protecting victims from their aggressors. The Frente Network is a complementary means to the judicial provision that best protects the victims, meeting Cappelletti and Bryan's aspirations, to universalize access to justice, with due equity, essential to the analyzed case.
