Análise da relevância da dependência financeira da mulher vítima de violência doméstica e a pertinência do projeto de lei no senado nº 443/2011

Abstract

This article analyzes the relevance of financial dependence of women victims of domestic violence and the relevance of the Bill in the Senate nº 443/2011. The Maria da Penha Law represented a major advance in the fight against violence to women, however, after nearly nine years of its entry into force, still needs mechanisms that help victims to break the cycle of aggression. Many women, for financially dependent on the abuser and have not able to sustain themselves and their children, not just formalizing the complaint or return to living with the abuser. Given this reality, the bill in the Senate nº 443/2011 proposes to guarantee this woman, in situations of violence, the receipt of any benefit, by changing the Maria da Penha Law and the Organic Law of Social Assistance. It sought to analyze also other necessary measures, in addition to financial support, to enable the emancipation of the woman and consequently the decrease in the number of cases of domestic violence.
