The concepts associated with femicide, gender violence, personality rights, as well as a brief analysis of the origin of the Maria the Pena Law and the Law of Femicide, considered historical landmark in Brazil, will be studied.

The approach was exploratory, where the theoretical bibliographic method was used, and the research employed technique was by indirect documentation through the documentary and bibliographic research.
