Abstract

By the Law 11.340 / 2006 (BRAZIL, 2006), this article seeks to analyze the implementation of public policies to assist women in situations of domestic and family violence within the Specialized Police Stations of Santa Catarina. The methods used are bibliographical and documentary research, including specialized literature on the subject, and data collection in specialized official databases of the state of Santa Catarina. Through this analysis, it was possible to verify the implementation of Police Stations for the Protection of Children, Adolescents, Women and the Elderly (DPCAMIs in Portuguese), distributed in the regions the Florianópolis, Oeste, Serrana, South of the State and Itajaí Valley. However, we must pay attention to the fact that the guidelines aim at the creation of Police Stations for Women.
