La violencia de género y la violencia doméstica continúan representando uno de los principales desafíos para la protección de los derechos humanos de las mujeres en Angola. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la evolución conceptual de la violencia de género, examinar el marco jurídico nacional e internacional aplicable y valorar los principales desafíos institucionales que limitan la eficacia del sistema de protección desde una perspectiva sociojurídica. Se desarrolló una investigación cualitativa basada en una revisión jurídico-documental de literatura científica, legislación nacional, instrumentos internacionales y documentos institucionales publicados principalmente entre 2020 y 2026. El análisis permitió identificar avances relevantes en el reconocimiento normativo de los derechos de las mujeres mediante la Constitución de Angola, la Lei n.º 25/11 contra la violencia doméstica y los instrumentos internacionales de derechos humanos. No obstante, persisten limitaciones relacionadas con el acceso efectivo a la justicia, la coordinación interinstitucional, la prevención y la implementación de las políticas públicas. Como principal aporte, el estudio propone un modelo sociojurídico integrado por cinco dimensiones estratégicas —prevención, protección integral, acceso a la justicia, coordinación institucional y reparación integral— orientado a fortalecer la respuesta del Estado y garantizar una protección efectiva de los derechos de las mujeres en Angola.
