Cultura de Paz no combate ao feminicídio: uma análise do PRONASCI II

Abstract

This Master's Dissertation aims to analyze the culture of peace as a guiding foundation of PRONASCI II in the reduction of violence against women in Brazil. The study explores the connections between public security, human rights, and public policies, focusing on the need for an integrated and humanized approach to confront structural and gender-based violence, especially femicide. The work covers the historical trajectory of PRONASCI, with special attention to its second phase, linking it to the promotion of a culture of peace and its practical application. The research is structured around three specific objectives: to explore the theory of the culture of peace, highlighting its relevance in the context of violence against women and public security; to study the relationship between PRONASCI and PRONASCI II and the promotion of a culture of peace, including its integration with policies for the protection of women; and to evaluate the actions of PRONASCI II aimed at reducing femicides, proposing improvements and recommendations for the enhancement of public security policies based on the research findings. Another highlighted issue is police violence against women, which also contributes to the aggravation of this social problem. The methodology used combines exploratory research of a bibliographic and documentary nature with the application of the logical model as a tool to assess the effectiveness of the policies and propose advancements. The results indicate that, although PRONASCI II and the culture of peace represent significant progress, there are structural, cultural, and institutional challenges that hinder the effective implementation of public security policies aimed at protecting women. The analysis emphasizes the need for integration among different social actors—such as government, civil society, and local communities—to enable the practical implementation of the established objectives. In summary, it is concluded that strengthening the culture of peace is essential to transform social structures and promote a more just and equitable environment for women in Brazil, reflected in the reduction of femicide rates.
