Análise dos dados de violência doméstica e sexual no período da pandemia: Um estudo sobre o impacto social do Lockdown nesse âmbito

Abstract

Social isolation, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, brought several nuances to the data on domestic and sexual violence in the country. This theme had its growth along with the feminist movement, that is, from the 20th century, but punitive public policies for aggressors only emerged in the 21st century with the Maria da Penha Law, thus allowing the collection and analysis of these data. The figures taken from the yearbooks published by the Brazilian Public Security Forum, presented in this work, show us that the data on Threat, Intentional Bodily Injury, Femicide and Emergency Protective Measures Distributed and Granted (all within the scope of the Maria da Penha Law) and the data on Rape and Rape of the Vulnerable (female victims) had a considerable decrease over the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, however, surveys carried out in the year 2023 provide us with a basis for questioning how accurate the numbers obtained are. This descriptive and quantitative data analysis aimed, through the case study, to base and encourage discussions about domestic and sexual violence in the country, allowing and helping the creation of increasingly efficient public policies. The results obtained in the analyzes allow us to have a glimpse of the National scenario, not only in the pandemic years, but also currently, where these can be a form of basis and impetus for greater investment by the Government in the preparation and qualification of the appropriate professionals, in addition to improving laws to increasingly ensure the protection of victims.
