Abstract:
It is the analysis of Brazilian legislation in the fight against gender violence, as well as its effectiveness in dealing with this crime that still continues to bring thousands of women to death every year, especially in the State of Espírito Santo. And for the construction of the present article, a bibliographical review methodology was used in order to obtain a response to the questioning: To what extent is Brazilian legislation adequate to provide adequate protection against gender violence? The State ofEspírito Santo appears with one of the highest rates of female homicide per 100,000 women in the country, with a rate of 9.3 per 100,000 women, behind only the state of Roraima. It remains clear, therefore, that the State of Espírito Santo leads the ranking of violence against women, thus confirming the inequality between the gender here exposed in relation to violence, as well as the ineffectiveness of legislation against such violence.
