Patriarcado, feminicídio e políticas públicas na região do Caparaó Capixaba (2003-2016)

Abstract

The present research aims to analyze the murders of women that occurred in the region of Caparaó Capixaba, in the period 2003-2016, reflecting on the permanence of patriarchal practices and representations and on the insufficiency of articulation of public policies to combat violence against women developed in the region. Its sources are 17 lawsuits from the Counties of Alegre, Guaçuí, Ibatiba, Iúna and Muniz Freire, official documents from the Union, from the State of Espírito Santo, articles from newspapers to Notícia and Folha do Caparaó and news from official digital organs of the municipalities surveyed. . This is a qualitative research, which uses the study of multicases as a method of procedure, combining the use of document analysis techniques, free observation and content analysis. The theoretical framework used, preferably, dialogues with feminist authors, among which stand out Sueli Almeida, Eva Blay, Maria Beatriz Nader, Heleieth Saffioti and incorporates other theoretical contributions that favor the understanding of the research object. Documentation analyzes confirm the predominance of patriarchal practices and representations in the region of Caparaó Capixaba and the perception of insufficient public policies for care, prevention and assistance to women. In this way, violence and, in particular, the murders of women stem from the continuity of sexist and misogynistic behaviors and the inability of the public power to implement a network to confront violence and care for women who are in vulnerable situations, especially in contexts of domestic and family violence.
