Feminicídio: o impacto da lei 13.104/2015 nos casos de feminicídios no Brasil

Abstract

The study analyzes the impact of the Femicide Law on the female homicide rate, using a comparison with international legislation, with articles that indicate the economic losses of violence and with those in our literature on the impact of the law since 2015, discovering more distinct research for the legal study than quantitative on the economic costs for society. For the requests for the number of femicides, before and after the law, homicides in residences were considered as closer to homicides due to gender. Thus, the Differences in Differences methodology for panel data (Two-Way-Fixed-Effects) was used, in the period from 2007 to 2021, together with the Event Study, defined by the sanction of the law in 2015. The results indicate that there was an increase in the number of female homicides in residences in the period after the enactment of the law, both at the level of Brazil and in relation to the macro-regions that were also the object of the model. It is concluded that the implementation of the Feminicide Law did not achieve the expected reach, making it clear that Brazil still has a lot of work to do to mitigate female homicides due to gender issues.
