Women's movements and changes in the penal code

A line of thought on violence against women, domestic violence and criminal law permeates the work. To what extent can the law be, or can be, transformed by social movements, in this case, women's movements against violence and whether these movements succeed in shaking structures legitimated by the law. The possibility for women who are oppressed by various types of violence to get rid of it and help to build a history capable of changing the social and institutional vision, in this case the Law, objectively and subjectively, making them recognise domestic violence as violence, is fully viable. Acting together, Law and Society, will make possible the evolution of a balance built in a reciprocal way, making the experience more harmonious and with respect to differences.Keywords: Women.
