In Brazil, safety orders are primarily associated with the 'Lei Maria da Penha' (Law 11.340/2006), landmark legislation protecting victims of domestic violence against women. The term 'ordem de proteção' or 'medida protetiva' is widely recognized in Brazilian society as a legal tool for victims to seek court protection. In the United States, safety orders and restraining orders are common legal mechanisms in both domestic violence and general harassment cases, often issued by family courts or civil courts.
