“…In the United States, what began as a shelter movement for battered women expanded dramatically into a complex web of service-provision involving various degrees of collaboration (and/or conflict) between community organizations and government agencies (Lehrner and Allen 2009;Reinelt 1995) with the passage of the Violence against Women Act (1994). In Latin America, a similar longstanding grassroots effort by feminist organizations to provide women victims with legal and psychological support, while simultaneously advocating for improved legal protections, eventually led to the creation of specialized institutions like women's police stations (Nelson 1996) and domestic violence courts/tribunals (Macauley 2006), staffed by female officials. The creation of these all-women institutions in Latin America represented a dramatic change in local law enforcement, which had been an almost exclusively male purview prior to the early 1990s.…”

“…Estudos antropológicos anteriores levantaram críticas sobre as práticas utilizadas tanto nas Delegacias da Mulher como em centros feministas de intervenção na violência contra a mulher no Brasil (e.g. Azevedo, 1985;Chauí, 1984;Hautzinger, 1998;Nelson, 1996; tratamento condescendente e protetora para com as mulheres" (id. ).…”

“…A criação das primeiras Delegacias da Mulher no Brasil, em 1985, estava ancorada em uma visão essencialista de que policiais mulheres seriam "naturalmente" melhor preparadas do que seus colegas homens para lidar com violência contra a mulher e que o ambiente das delegacias regulares, normalmente dominadas por homens, não era apropriado para que as mulheres denunciassem a violência que sofriam (Nabucco, 1989;Nelson, 1996;. Assim, segundo relata Station (1989), a criação de delegacias com uma equipe formada somente por policiais do sexo feminino representou uma tentativa de "humanizar [...] a polícia depois de décadas de militarismo" (p. 69).…”
