Estamos Juntas: Expert system to support the identification and denunciation of violence against women

Abstract

In relation to alarming rates of feminicide and hospitalization of women due to domestic / familial / conjugal violence in Brazil and the high level of naturalization of violence by society, we see the need for mechanisms to address this phenomenon through prevention. Thus, the objective of this research is to support women in the identification of abusive relationships, through an expert system, as well as to alert about the different manifestations of violence and to inform the procedures for reporting. In order to achieve this goal, a web application called Estamos Juntas has been designed and developed. Preliminary validations have pointed promising results related to the use of expert systems associated with a website to solve the problem.
