Abstract

O feminicídio é a forma mais extrema de violência de gênero e permanece um desafio estrutural no Brasil. Este estudo analisa a associação entre a cobertura do Programa Bolsa Família e a taxa de feminicídios, aproximada por mortes de mulheres por agressões, nos municípios de Minas Gerais no período de 2013 a 2021, com dados do IMRS e modelo com dados em painel dinâmico. A análise descritiva por mesorregiões evidenciou heterogeneidade territorial persistente. Os resultados econométricos apontaram associação negativa e estatisticamente significativa entre maior cobertura e menor taxa de feminicídios, compatível com mecanismos de maior autonomia econômica e acesso ampliado a serviços de apoio entre as beneficiárias. Em termos de políticas públicas, recomenda-se a coordenação entre programas de transferência de renda e serviços especializados de proteção com capilaridade territorial, além de monitoramento local contínuo para acomodar discrepâncias regionais. Femicide is the most extreme form of gender based violence and remains a structural challenge in Brazil. This study analyzes the association between the coverage of the Bolsa Família Program and femicide rates, proxied by female deaths due to aggression, across municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais from 2013 to 2021, using IMRS data and a dynamic panel data model. The descriptive analysis by mesoregions revealed persistent territorial heterogeneity. The econometric results indicate a negative and statistically significant association between higher program coverage and lower femicide rates, consistent with mechanisms related to greater economic autonomy and improved access to support services among beneficiaries. From a public policy perspective, the findings support the need for coordination between income transfer programs and specialized protection services with territorial reach, along with continuous local monitoring to address regional disparities.
