The objective of the present research is to analyze how the coercive nature of the new modalities of protective measures established by Law No. 13.984/2020 impacted the assistance provided by the Public Defender's Office of Pará to male perpetrators of gender-based violence in Belém/PA. The research was conducted using a deductive method with an exploratory approach, in conjunction with bibliographic and documentary research, as well as data collection through empirical research. Initially, an introduction and contextualization were conducted regarding topics relevant to the research objective, such as the reality of combating gender-based violence in Brazil, the Maria da Penha Law, and public policies aimed at male perpetrators of violence. This was followed by a presentation of these initiatives and a brief summary of the mentioned legislation and its possible impacts on the projects developed in Belém. Based on the data obtained through the employed research methods, especially bibliographic and empirical research, it was found that Law No. 13.984/2020 brought significant changes to the dynamics of assisting male perpetrators of gender-based violence through reflective groups, particularly in quantitative terms, without necessarily impairing the reflective process of the assisted individuals in the face of the coerciveness of protective measures.
