Abstract:
Abstract Violence against women involves direct and indirect costs to the individual, the family and society, affecting mainly the poor. Given this, the present study sought to examine how public policy of conditional cash transfers - Bolsa Família Program (BFP) is able to influence this phenomenon. The results indicate that the BFP has the effect of increasing violence against women. Thereby, those who live in rural areas with low education and lower earnings than the spouse are more likely to suffer physical abuse. It is believed that governmental agencies efforts should be directed among beneficiary that have such characteristics. A suggestion for public policy is the expansion of conditionality of health for women through educational policies such as intrafamilial monitoring of domestic situation through social assistance of Protection and Integral Care of Family Service (PICFS).
