Assistance of women and youths
The Maria da Penha Law, sanctioned in 2006, includes a series of measures to protect women from several types of domestic violence. One of the law’s off-branches is the National Pact to Fight Violence Against Women, launched in 2007, to elaborate measures to fight violence and promote the autonomy of women. How much did such policies advance? What challenges do these policies face? These and other questions are the concern of Professor Patrícia Krieger Grossi and other members of the Study and Research Group on Violence (Nepevi).
Within the context of a project launched in 2009, the researchers visited counties from nine areas in Rio Grande do Sul that have coordinating offices for women that adhere to the pact. The general aim of this project is to identify the advancements made by and challenges posed to the Maria da Penha Law in the implementation of public policies to fight domestic violence against women to support the social protection network. A booklet, an educational video, and a map of the protection network services available in the state, drawn in partnership with the Laboratory of Geoprocessing and Image Treatment of PUCRS, will be created.
One project targeting youths addresses the factors of vulnerability and protection of crack users. This study focuses on the users’ relatives who attend Narcotic Anonymous meetings in Porto Alegre (RS) and aims to establish the influence of families on the treatment of dependency.
Within the university setting, this group elaborated on the partnership with the School of Education and the Pastoral and Solidarity Center using a questionnaire that will be applied to 1,500 students from 16 to 29 years of age in all academic units to survey socio-economic and cultural features and youths’ beliefs. The aim of this project is to determine the profile of students and identify their requirements to qualify pedagogical strategies. The results will provide the baseline for the Youth Observatory of PUCRS.
