Evaluation of public policies, Bolsa Família Program, Intrafamily violenceAbstract
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).
