Não precisa ser Amélia para ser de verdade: um estudo da lei 9.099/95 e 11.340/06 à luz das teorias feministas

Abstract

The present study sought to know and articulate about the current contemporary, chauvinist and oppressive society. It also sought to analyze the relationships between men and women, and the criminal consequences arising from this relationship, specifically, in cases of domestic violence. The method used in this work was the dialectic, and through it, it was possible to study pre-existing concepts and deconstruct them, assigning a more progressive and egalitarian view, the light of feminist theories. The objectives of this study were to study the legislation of the Special Criminal Courts in relation to domestic violence, to study the current legislation specific to violence against women, and to study the pre-existing concepts of what it is to be a man and what it is to be a woman within society . Thus, the study began with the man, analyzing his behavior. Then, from the point of view of the woman, it was possible to observe the whole process of oppression and subordination experienced by the woman. Finally, based on the analyzed concepts, it was possible to elaborate a critical analysis about the national legislation, specifically domestic violence
