This research aimed to analyze the discussion about Law n. 11.340, entitled Lei Maria da Penha, of August 7, 2006, in the scientific production of the stricto sensu graduate programs of Social Work in Brazil in the period from 2006 to 2018. For both, a bibliographic survey of scientific productions in this period was made in two databases: the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog. With a total of 24 productions, it was decided to conduct a research of the type State of the art, followed by the qualitative study of the 07 (seven) Master s Dissertations that appeared in both databases. We sought to analyze the discussion that has been built in this particular area of knowledge, in an attempt to map the stricto sensu scientific production of Social Work with regard to the theme, being necessary for this to reveal who, where and how these surveys were produced. Violence against women is a reality present in the professional daily life of the social worker, therefore, the expansion of the debate in academic education, whether in undergraduate, postgraduate lato sensu and stricto sensu, must be motivated since the performance of this professional it is interwoven in public policies to confront violence against women who are victims of violence, both in management, implementation, implementation and social control. Despite its relevance, the stricto sensu production of Social Work on the subject is still scarce. However, the works demonstrate a deepening of the theme when conceptualizing gender, highlighting the preponderance of feminist and women s movements and contextualizing the Law by analyzing its applicability and/ or effectiveness within the spaces that act in the fight against domestic and family violence against women.
