As políticas públicas de enfrentamento à violência contra a mulher em Belém (PA): entre o desejo e o improviso

Abstract

In this research, the implementation of public policies to confront domestic and family violence in the city of Belem between the years 2015 to 2019 is investigated, based on the premises developed from the Maria da Penha Law and the National Pact to Combat Violence Against Women. The objective of the research was to analyze the articulation of services that compose the service network for women in situations of violence, in particular, the Government Program called Pro Peace Woman / DEAM (now named as Para Paz), implemented in 2014 in Belem. It is a Public Policy that integrates the services of psychosocial, police, expertise and justice services into a single space. The study was developed as an exploratory research with a qualitative approach. As a methodology, 14 semi-structured interviews occurred with the technical team and specialists working within the Pro Peace Woman, Coordination for the Integration of Policies for Women (CIPM), the Court of Justice, the Military Police, the Public Ministry and the Federal University of Para. The data was examined through the Atlas Ti Content Analysis software. Based on defined thematic categories, the results indicate problems with the articulation of the services, being them issues with the intra and intersectoral care integration flow and failures in the communication with the surroundings. In this way, it is concluded that, despite the discourse on services integration, the actions to confront the public policy are still showing low effectiveness and discontinuity of actions.
