Social differences between men and women are not biological and reproduce centuries of
male domination. History was and continues to be written by men who, benefiting from the
privileges of patriarchy, relegated women to a secondary role in the social structure. As a way
of maintaining male power against female power, men use violence so as not to lose the
virility they believe they have, while also being tied to the patriarchal system. Men use
violence to preserve conquered privileges and keep women trapped in the system that
enshrines them with the central role in society. Violence against women is the final chapter of
a complex plot involving patriarchy, misogyny and power in which human rights and
feminism represent the theoretical basis for respecting dignity and gender equality. To grant
state protection to women, the Maria da Penha Law provided for the granting of protective
measures to swiftly guarantee the integrity of victims of domestic violence. The technical
report seeks to analyze all requests for protective measures granted in the District of Formoso
do Araguaia/TO between 2015 and 2020 to identify who the victims of domestic violence are
and seek a common point of the immediate reasons that led them to seek protection of the
State, including the transcription of the reports extracted from the requests made to the Police
Stations.
