The aim of this master's thesis is to present a Social Management Technology that strengthens the fight against gender-based violence against women. The Social Management Technology was developed after analyzing the reality found on the Itapagipe Peninsula, based on data collected by the Maria da Penha Women's Protection Police Battalion. The construction started with bibliographical research to typify violence in general and violence against women more specifically, in view of the focus of this work, which is to strengthen the fight against gender-based violence against women. The methodological path and the production of the theoretical framework include authors such as Saffioti (2015), Sardenberg and Tavares (2016), Gomes (2018), Bento (2017), Bandeira (2014), Rose (2022), among others. With regard to documentary research, various documents and reports were used from the Bahia State Public Security Secretariat, the Maria da Penha Battalion of the Bahia State Military Police, the Bahia Feminicide Protocol, published by the Bahia Legislative Assembly, and the database of the Salvador Urban Environment Quality research group (QUALISalvador). The data set was analyzed using content analysis. The context of gender-based violence against women, evidenced in the relevant administrative records, highlights the need to encourage debate and develop educational and preventive actions that lead to the reformulation of concepts rooted in the patriarchal society in which we live, stimulating attitudes capable of underpinning new behaviors. To this end, Social Management Technology proposes an educational initiative, through an online, self-instructional course, involving social management and inter-organizational management, aimed at informing the general population, especially women, about the various aspects that permeate gender-based violence against women and its presentations, starting with the types and main characteristics, going through the points of denunciation and support networks, culminating in knowledge as a form of individual and collective protection.
