Maria da Penha Law: an analysis of the effectiveness of the socioeducative axis in Rio Grande do Norte
Maria Penha Law; Gender; Violence, Socio-educational axis.
The dissertation aims to analyze and reflect on the Maria Penha Law and the socio-educational devices arranged in Rio Grande do Norte. For this, methodologically, the work constitutes a qualitative research based on the analysis of the text of the Law, as well as the documents and programs produced by the state of Potiguar in the socio-educational axis. In this sense, we make use of Foucault's perspective of discourse analysis (Foucault, 1996), trying to identify how gender and violence are constructed as discursive practices that mark the subjects, since in the Law, universal and essentialized characteristics classify men and women. From the Law we evaluate how the programs under the perspective of the socio-educational axis promote their actions in an attempt to reflect and identify their effectiveness in Rio Grande do Norte. With this, we intend to highlight in the process of education significant elements for coping with and reducing domestic violence.
