Abstract
Gender violence is evidenced by gender-based violence, with women being the main victims. Such a phenomenon constitutes physical or psychological violence against any person or group of individuals on the basis of their gender or gender that negatively impacts their social, physical or psychological identity and well-being. (Morera et al, 2016). Historically, there has been a gender differentiation, revealing a hierarchy of man in relation to women. As a result of mobilizations that emerged from the feminist movement, Law No. 11,340 of 2006, Lei Maria da Penha, was implemented, known as an important affirmative action in the Brazilian Legislative. Considered the fruit of a paradigmatic case of attention to Human Rights, it was recognized by the United Nations Development Fund for Women as one of the three most advanced in the world, among ninety laws created on the subject. (BIANCHINI, 2013). Literature and documentary research was carried out, being possible to report and evaluate the knowledge produced in previous research, highlighting concepts, and relevant conclusions.
