A lei nº 14.550/2023 e seus impactos no combate ao recrudescimento da violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher

Abstract

The Maria da Penha Law (Law No. 11.340/2006) has been fundamental in protecting women from domestic violence. However, the need for improvements led to the publication of Law No. 14.550/2023, addressing several crucial areas in the fight against gender-based violence. The text explores the history of the Maria da Penha Law, the need for subsequent legislations and the Bill No. 1,604/22, which influenced the changes and was transformed into Ordinary Law No. 14.550/2023. lt emphasizes the importance of legislative updates to keep up with societal evolution and protect the rights of victims. The focus is on the new Article 40-A, discussing the presumption of gender motivation and its impacts on emergency protective measures, as well as the paragraphs added to Article 19 of the Maria da Penha Law. The method used is deductive with a qualitative approach, involving the collection of bibliographical and documentary data, aiming to highlight the innovations brought by Law No. 14.550/2023 in combating domestic violence against women.
