O acesso da mulher à justiça no âmbito da violência doméstica e familiar

Abstract

This study analyzes the progress of women's rights in Brazil, focusing on protection against domestic and family violence. The research adopts a qualitative approach, based on documentary and bibliographic analysis, to examine women's access to justice as a fundamental right. From the Civil Code of 1916, which reinforced female subordination, to the Maria da Penha Law of 2006, significant progress has been observed in Brazilian legislation. However, institutional barriers still limit the full exercise of this right, especially in remote areas and among vulnerable populations. The study also explores whether access to justice has been effectively safeguarded or if there are gaps that need to be addressed. It concludes that, despite advancements, strengthening public policies, expanding protection networks, and training professionals are essential to ensuring an environment of respect, equality, and dignity for women.
