LEI MARIA DA PENHA SOB O ASPECTO DO ESTELIONATO EMOCIONAL E OS CIBERCRIMES

The Maria da Penha Law 11.340/2006 was mandatory in expanding women’s rights in relation to various types of violence suffered. The law aims to protect the physical and psychological integrity of victims of violence, which is increasing every year in Brazil. The article aims to present the types of violence that exist, new types of violence that are not yet discussed or even considered as violence by some, because they do not understand the subject and in which areas violence occurs. It will also present laws that classify certain types of violence that have existed for a long time and new laws and legal mechanisms that have emerged to meet the new demand for crimes developed through the advancement of technology, with an emphasis on emotional fraud and cybercrimes. At the end, it will point out which loopholes exist in the legislation, challenges faced in this fight and what measures will still be created to change this scenario of violence against women that is growing every day. The main objective is to understand the scenario of violence and its modernizations and seek more effective measures in each case, ensuring greater security and confidence in laws and public policies.
