RESUMO

Violence against woman represents a violation to human rights and fundamental liberties. In 2006, Brazilian government approved the Law 11.340 named Maria da Penha Law which cohibits domestic and familiar violence against woman. In spite of effort which has been done from governmental and non-governmental organisms, the implantation of Maria da Penha Law has found resistances. Some representatives of Court advocate the legacy of this law. The interpretation and appliability of the Law get submitted to social representations about the woman in society and her rights. The theory of social representations constitutes a support to analyze speeches of police officers at Woman Police Station and Police Stations which deal with that Law, day after day.
