PRIORITIZATION OF ACTIONS TO COMBAT VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

This article proposes a multicriteria approach to prioritize actions to combat violence against women (VAW) in the state of Pernambuco, using the FITradeoff method. The research is based on the need to improve the allocation of public resources and support strategic decisions in a context marked by high social and institutional complexity. Initially, criteria and alternatives for public policies were defined with the support of experts and the Women's Secretariat of the state of Pernambuco. Next, the FITradeoff method was applied, allowing the prioritization of 20 alternatives. The results indicated as main priorities the integration of support networks, the creation of programs to recognize exemplary practices and continuous training on gender violence. The study contributes to the literature by proposing a structured and replicable model to support multicriteria decision-making aimed at the formulation of more effective public policies aligned with the promotion of gender equality.
