The a priori perception of the end of impunity for the aggressor clearlyhelps to prevent violence. Herein lies the importance of the social transformationof law. This article analyzes the main transformations of the Brazilian legal sys-tem in an attempt to combat domestic and family violence against women, asa consequence of the condemnation that Brazil suffered on April 4, 2001, by theInter-American Commission on Human Rights, in the Case of Maria da Penha. Itwill be demonstrated that the former situation of neglect and disrespect for wo-men’s rights in Brazil has been gradually rectified over the years since, havingnow reached an adequate level of legislative protection.
