The situation of gender violence in Brazil reveals alarming numbers, with the country in fifth place in the international ranking of violence against women in 2015. To face this reality, the Maria da Penha Law is the most important Brazilian legislative instrument. In 2020, an amendment was made to the LMP, adding the possibility of mandatory attendance of male perpetrators of domestic violence (MPV) to recovery and re-education programs as an urgent protective measure. Initiatives with this public have been happening since the 1970s, arriving in Brazil between 1980 and 1990. The literature on this topic states that participation in this type of initiative has reduced recidivism rates, thus being an important instrument in tackling domestic violence. Given this scenario, this research aimed to analyze the assumptions presented in the LMP and in the document “General Guidelines for the Services of Accountability and Education of the Aggressor”, from a decolonial reading, questioning notions of masculinity and understandings of violence, based on the concept of gender coloniality. The choice for the theoretical framework was made because gender studies in the global North do not take into account the reality produced on the margins and the impacts of coloniality on the realities of the South. Decolonial perspectives point out that, beyond the historical period of colonization, coloniality represents the echoes of domination and hierarchization of knowledge, places and people, reflecting the global power relations constituted from the invasion of the American continent. Faced with this, they seek to value the knowledge and resistance produced in the Americas. The results of this research point to the State as heir and reproducer of the colonial project, in an ambivalent relationship with the populations it claims it seeks to protect. They also demonstrate the reproduction of gender coloniality in legal provisions, expressed in cis-heteronormativity and in the man/woman binarism, making invisible and unprotecting those who do not fit the profile of the universal woman, as well as the understanding of violence from a punitive bias, on the one hand, and educational and of accountability, on the other. Groups with MPV appear as relevant instruments for overcoming gender violence, requiring progress in terms of evaluation and monitoring practices. Finally, we hope that analyzes like this one will be able to help in the production of contexts that are less violent and more respectful of diversity, and in the construction of more adequate policies to reduce gender violence in our region.
