Modelo de decisão multicritério para classificar municípios quanto ao risco de violência doméstica contra a mulher: um estudo a partir da Amazônia paraense

Abstract

Violence against women (VAW) is one of the most serious local and global public health issues, requiring effective public policies to tackle it. The aim of this project is to present a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) model based on ELECTRE Tri-B to classify municipalities in the state of Pará according to the risk of violence against women in their territories, in order to map them in descending order in terms of this risk. A model is proposed that considers among the criteria for analysis and classification the existence of support and protection facilities for women in these municipalities, called the Assistance and Protection Index (IAP), as well as socio-economic indicators of the municipalities such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Human Development Index (HDI) and Degree of Income Concentration (GINI). The results obtained from the multi-criteria decision model reveal interesting patterns: municipalities with a lower risk of violence against women (VCM), protective equipment and good socio-economic indicators, but a high rate of complaints, corroborating the maxim that environments with more mechanisms to protect women lead to a higher number of complaints. Thus, the methodology used allowed for the identification of municipalities where there is a greater risk of VAW, the mapping of these municipalities and regions, enabling targeted actions that are more likely to be effective in combating and preventing VAW.
