Abstract

This work will address an old phenomenon, which is domestic violence against women, and this theme is widely discussed and discussed. This type of violence can occur both on the street and at home, and in most cases it is practiced by a husband, a partner, or a stepfather. According to the Convention of Belém do Pará (1994), "(...)violence against women shall be understood as any act or conduct based on gender that causes death, injury or physical, sexual or psychological suffering to the woman, both in the public sphere and in the private sphere "(Article 1). Therefore, noting the importance of promoting discussions related to violence against women and the challenges faced by networks and professionals of victim assistance, this research arises from these concerns, because the increasing rate of domestic violence counts the woman, as well as the increase in the number of deaths and because women are given the opportunity and right to report the offender. Therefore, this work aims to contribute to foment debates and reflections on this theme. The nature of the research is explanatory, descriptive and exploratory, and it gathers information related to the main focus, domestic violence. In the face of the analysis carried out, policies to combat violence against women must and must be further consolidated in the framework of strengthening networks geared to assisting victims, qualifying their staff and supervising human resources, verifying that the services performed are of according to the technical standard for the standardization of networks.
