Abstract(s)
O presente projeto de graduação tem como finalidade a análise da vitimização secundária de mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica no contexto do sistema de justiça criminal português. Apesar da evolução legislativa e das políticas públicas implementadas nas últimas décadas, muitas mulheres continuam a enfrentar barreiras institucionais e práticas desumanas ao longo do processo judicial que contribuem para a repetição do trauma inicial.
A revisão da literatura científica identifica múltiplos fatores que potenciam a vitimização secundária, como a morosidade processual, a descredibilização do testemunho da vítima, a ausência de formação especializada dos profissionais e a fragilidade das respostas institucionais. Estes elementos não apenas perpetuam o sofrimento das vítimas, como comprometem a eficácia da justiça e a confiança no sistema.
É realizada uma proposta de um estudo empírico sobre o tema em análise, recorrendo a uma metodologia qualitativa, através da aplicação de um guião de entrevista semiestruturada a profissionais da justiça, forças de segurança e técnicos da Rede Nacional de Apoio às Vítimas de Violência Doméstica, procurando-se compreender de que forma o sistema, que deveria proteger, pode transformar-se num novo agente de sofrimento para as vítimas. Para além de identificar obstáculos, o estudo procura ainda destacar boas práticas institucionais que podem servir de referência na construção de respostas mais eficazes e humanizadas.
Nesse sentido, este trabalho procura contribuir para a reflexão crítica sobre a resposta do sistema judicial à violência doméstica, propondo medidas concretas para a prevenção da revitimização. Pretende-se, assim, obter uma abordagem centrada nos direitos humanos, que assegure o acolhimento digno das vítimas e promova uma justiça verdadeiramente transformadora.
The present graduation project aims to critically analyse the secondary victimisation of women who are victims of domestic violence within the context of the Portuguese criminal justice system. Despite legislative developments and the implementation of public policies in recent decades, many women continue to face institutional barriers and inhumane practices throughout the judicial process, which contribute to the repetition of the initial trauma. The literature review identifies multiple factors that exacerbate secondary victimisation, such as procedural delays, the discrediting of the victim’s testimony, the lack of specialised training among professionals, and the fragility of institutional responses. These elements not only perpetuate the suffering of victims but also undermine the effectiveness of justice and public trust in the system. This project proposes an empirical study on the subject, using a qualitative and exploratory methodology, through the application of a semi-structured interview guide to justice professionals, law enforcement officers, and technical staff from the National Support Network for Victims of Domestic Violence. The aim is to understand how the system, which should serve as a source of protection, may become an additional source of suffering for victims. Beyond identifying obstacles, the study also seeks to highlight good institutional practices that can serve as models in building more effective and humane responses. In this sense, the project aims to contribute to a critical reflection on the judicial system’s response to domestic violence, proposing concrete measures to prevent revictimisation. It seeks to promote a human rights-based approach that ensures the dignified treatment of victims and fosters a truly transformative justice system.
