This article proposes a critical reflection on the traditional paradigms for confronting violence against women, which are predominantly anchored in punitive-state measures. Based on frameworks from the philosophy of law, critical education, legal sociology, complex thinking, social justice, and restorative justice, it is understood that it is not possible to guarantee social harmony through coercion alone, as harmony must be built and not imposed. In this context, it is argued that the Law must operate on a dual level: to guarantee the effectiveness of urgent protection through coercive mechanisms when necessary, but, above all, to foster the construction of "sensitive communities."
