VIOLÊNCIAS INVISIBILIZADAS: Uma análise sobre a efetividade do Poder Judiciário frente às ações decorrentes de violência moral e psicológica familar e ou doméstica contra a mulher.

Abstract

Domestic and family violence against women is perceived as a serious violation of human rights and as an international pandemy that causes a gender holocaust. The No. 11.340 / 2006 Law, knowned as the Maria da Penha Law, in conjunction with international human rights treaties has already incorporated this concept into the Brazilian legal system, raising the protection status in face of violence against women practiced in national level. Data from national surveys show that so called invisible violence is the type of crime most commonly practiced against women across the country, being provided in the article number 7, items II and V of the Maria da Penha Law and embodied in the country's criminal law. However, they are still little explored by the doctrine and jurisprudence, as well as there are few studies on the subject and on the real extent of its damage and consequences due to deficient protection to women who suffer this type of violence, who are invisible, but actually not invisible. Thus, the present research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of its jurisdictional provision the the Maranhão ́s State Court Power considering the judgment of moral and psychological violence against women. In order to achieve this purpose, the methodological procedures of bibliographic analysis, document analysis and content analysis of the judgments of the Court of Justice of Maranhão between the years of 2018 to 2020 were used.
