    This article aims at analyzing the Maria da Penha Law as a public policy of respect for the human rights of women in the context of international treaties. It specifically aims to describe the context of violence against women in Brazil; to identify the relevance of the Maria da Penha Law in the protection of the human rights of women; understand the relationship between the Maria da Penha Law and the international human rights and women's treaties. To reach these objectives, a review of the literature, the bibliographical and documentary type of articles, dissertations, books and legislation, available in reliable sites and in the personal collection of the researcher was chosen. It was possible to understand that Brazil has advanced in terms of legislation regarding international responsibility in the protection of women, and the Maria da Penha Law is a landmark in this progress as an instrument to reduce violence, in accordance with the International Conventions. It is noticed that there is still little research that addresses the effective measures of international accountability of Brazil, regarding women's international rights. Although the Maria da Penha Law has been widely discussed in the current literature, it is necessary to expand the research in order to develop strategies that can contribute to the protection of women's rights.
