Political violence against women in the international and domestic system: the Cooperative Constitutional State on focus

Resumo

The present article aims to analyze and define the crime of gender political violence, in the context of the Cooperative Constitutional State approach and the radiating effect of human rights, evaluating the challenges in applying the existing normative related to gender political violence and how it can be interpreted to better protect victims. The method chosen was bibliographic and documentary content analysis and interpretation of the data to identify relevant patterns and themes. As a conclusion, the hypothesis that authorities in charge of enforcing gender political violence laws should consider human rights protection and accountability of perpetrators as key objectives was confirmed. This should happen by integrating international
human rights principles into legislation to ensure that laws are consistent with international norms, in a performance that assumes the importance of cooperation between state agencies and civil society in the protection of these rights.
