A ascensão do "Mito" e a ascensão da violência contra a mulher no Brasil

Abstract

The neo-fascist government installed in Brazil since the inauguration of the current President of the Republic, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, in 2019 brings a scenario of destruction of social policies and social rights. The present work sought to analyze how the protection policies for women victims of violence are being deconstructed and, in parallel, an increase in the rates of violence against women in the context of a pandemic caused by the new coronavirus. The arrival of Bolsonaro to power and the impacts generated in his first year in office in relation to the expansion and setbacks in public policies to protect women in situations of violence are addressed, with Law 11.349/2006 (Law Maria da Penha) as a reference, the analysis of the inaugural speech of the Minister for Women, Family and Human Rights, Damares Alves, gender discussions and the need for effective policies to fight the pandemic and violence against women.
