The impact of public policies on violence against women
This project aims to direct the master's thesis that intends to analyze the impact of public policies in combating violence against women and femicide. During the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, how did public policies behave in the face of this scenario of violence? An exploratory research with a quantitative approach with a methodological strategy in the case study of the 96 districts of the city of São Paulo will subsidize the work, essentially through the Map of social inequality launched by Rede Nossa São Paulo. Some hypotheses guide the research: The more access to education or work and income, the more protection and less violence. The more public policies directed towards women, the less violence. The more violence against women in specific areas of the city, the more public policies are aimed at that region. Given the hypotheses mentioned, which and how are the significant social public policies in the face of the issue and in this period.
An initial analysis of the city's 96 districts based on public policy variables shows that they were implemented to add to the work to combat gender violence, protagonist actions and to break violence. Regardless of this, statistical data indicate that violence against women grows every year, according to data from the Secretariat of Public Security. The research also aims to work with data from 2015, focusing on 2019, 2020 and 2021, where the scenario is spatially and economically diversified. Information from municipal departments will also be analyzed: Social Assistance, Education, Human Rights, Health and Public Safety.
