Abstract

Law 11.340/2006, popularly known as Maria da Penha Law, establishes mechanisms to protect women victims of domestic violence, aiming to prevent new crimes and to stop the violence, by applying Protective Measures of Urgency (PMUs). As a way to put into practice the guidelines established in the above-mentioned law the Maria da Penha Patrol has been implemented, composed of military police officers who are trained to accompany women, providing periodic assistance and monitoring the occurrences of non-compliance with the PMUs, as well as carrying out preventive campaigns, operating as a network of protection for women who are victims of violence in their homes. For the development of this undergraduate thesis, the hypothetical-deductive method was used, through exploratory research, through the analysis of legal works and statistical data provided by the State, through its official websites. The objective of this paper work is to examine the evolution of violence against women in the family, delving into the Protective Measures of Urgency, as well as elucidating the performance of the Maria da Penha Patrol as an agency responsible for the application of Protective Measures of Urgency, surveying data from 2017 to 2020 on the national level, making the geographic cut in the Greater Island of São Luís, Maranhão. Given the research, it was found that the implementation of the Maria da Penha Law through the performance of the Maria da Penha Patrol optimized the work of enforcement and compliance with the PMUs, considering that with the data obtained it was observed a great reach of the law to women victims of violence within the family, giving them full knowledge about their rights.
