Abstract

Violence against women is a multifaceted and global phenomenon, rooted in gender inequalities and patriarchal structures. This article explores the diverse typologies of violence, their devastating impacts on victims' physical and mental health, and the justice system's response, focusing on Brazil's Maria da Penha Law and the emerging Victim's Statute. It analyzes the prevalence of orofacial and dentoalveolar injuries as indicators of intimate partner violence, highlighting the crucial role of dentistry and forensic dentistry in identifying, documenting, and referring these victims. The discussion extends to primary, secondary, and tertiary victimization, and the potential of restorative justice as a path to reparation and non-revictimization. Data from the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat (SSP/SP) are used to contextualize the problem's magnitude. It concludes that an integrated approach combining robust legislation, professional training is essential to combat violence against women and promote victims' dignity and rights.
