Violência institucional no sistema de justiça: um obstáculo à proteção das mulheres em situação de violência

Abstract

This work focuses on institutional violence against women in the Brazilian justice system, aiming to understand how this form of violence affects the pursuit of justice and the enforcement of victims' rights. The research assumes that, although the justice system was designed to protect the most vulnerable, it often revictimizes women in situations of domestic and family violence. The analysis is conducted from a feminist perspective, focusing on the patriarchal culture embedded in judicial institutions and shaping the practices of legal professionals. The methodology used was bibliographic and documentary research, analyzing legislation, and academic studies on gender violence and institutional violence. The results indicate that women's revictimization occurs due to the lack of training for justice system professionals, procedural delays, and the absence of effective public policies. It is concluded that overcoming institutional violence requires a structural transformation within the justice system, including the continuous training of legal professionals and the implementation of integrated policies that ensure adequate support and effective protection for women.
