HUMAN RIGHTS, FAMILY POLICIES AND UPR/UM: A LOOK AT THE PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Abstract

This research reflects on the Universal Periodic ReviewRecommendations made to Brazil in the fourth cycle (2022-2026), delimiting them withregard to intra-family violence whose human rights violations affect the vulnerablegroups of 'children or adolescents', 'women' and 'elderly people'. This delimitationoccurred due to the increase in intrafamily violence, mainly in these three groups. Basedon this perspective, I sought to analyze family policies as a way of preventing violencewithin the family, as well as the actions of the Brazilian State to reduce, prevent andresolve such violence, thus meeting the UPR/UN Recommendations in the currentcycle. This empirical study has a qualitative approach from an interdisciplinaryperspective close to the Social Sciences. Concomitantly with the analysis of evidence-based family policies, I began an exploratory search on official websites and statedatabases for the purpose of gathering information on human rights violations.
