Abstract

This is a study on violence against women which aims to verify the behavior of feminicides in the State of Paraíba between the years 2018 and 2023, to observe whether there have been advances in public policies to combat violence against women and, consequently, the impacts on violence rates in this segment. Its methodology is descriptive quantitative, built from the analysis of databases on violence against women, as well as bibliographical research in books, publications and government documents, websites and academic texts available in the main databases such as: Portal de Periódicos from CAPES, SCieLO, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, among others. Progress has been made in the State of Paraíba, however much still needs to be changed, new public policies need to be implemented and existing ones need to be improved, especially with regard to the implementation of faster mechanisms to arrest and punish aggressors.
