Identifies invisible patterns
Many forms of control and threats go unnoticed. A structured evaluation reveals warning signs you may not have recognized before.
Risk analysis is a powerful tool that helps you understand the level of danger you are in, plan your safety, and make decisions with greater clarity — on your own terms, at your own pace.
Why it matters
Not every domestic violence situation is the same. Understanding the level of risk you face is essential to making the right decisions at the right time — and protecting yourself and your children.
Many forms of control and threats go unnoticed. A structured evaluation reveals warning signs you may not have recognized before.
With clear information about the level of danger, you can plan your next steps with greater confidence, knowing what to prioritize.
Safety and social assistance professionals use risk analysis to prioritize cases and direct resources more effectively.
The assessment considers the impact on children and teenagers, ensuring they are also part of your protection plan.
No judgment, no deadlines, no obligations. The assessment is done on your time, in your safe space, according to what you're ready to share.
The analysis process isn't about vulnerability — it's about empowerment. Naming what is happening to you is an act of courage and self-care.
How it works
The score obtained in the analysis is classified into 5 different levels.
Each level corresponds to a specific set of recommendations for your situation.
Methodology developed by Felipe Scarpelli
The traditional approach, aimed at supporting the application of urgent protective measures in
cases of interpersonal violence against women, is based on the National Risk Assessment Form for
domestic and family violence, established by:
Joint Resolution No. 5, of March 3, 2020, by the CNJ and CNMP. Despite the form's name containing the
expression "risk assessment," it does not identify the degree of risk, making it necessary to apply
a framework to operationalize the information contained in the document. By addressing a study grounded
in risk, this work proposes a Pax Risk Analysis (AR Pax) methodology that enables
adequate advisory support in the decision-making process when addressing problems related to uncertainty,
in order to seek alignment between urgent protective measures and the victim's vulnerabilities and
potential threats. It is, therefore, the modeling of a systematically disciplined framework,
aimed at evaluating and improving the effectiveness of women's protection processes.Pax Risk Analysis and Urgent Protective Measures: Shaping the National Risk Assessment Form for Qualified Decision-Making Support,
which was adopted, for example, by the Court of Justice of the State of Tocantins, to assess its female employees who are victims of domestic violence.
What we assess
Our form is based on the National Risk Assessment Form – FONAR, developed by the National Council of Justice and the National Council of the Public Ministry, where a risk analysis methodology was applied. It takes into consideration different dimensions of your experience to build a real picture of the situation — without judgment, without complication.
Recognizing that you are at risk is not weakness — it is the most courageous act a woman can do for herself.
