Feminicídio: uma análise decolonial e interseccional da maior vitimização de mulheres negras no Brasil

Abstract

The statistics of femicide in Brazil, present in the Brazilian Yearbook of Public Security and in the Atlas of Violence, point to the greater victimization of black women. Therefore, it is important to analyze the reasons for the greater violence against these women, through the study of their social peculiarities. The creation of the femicide crime, inserted in Article 121, VI, of the CP in 2015 did not reduce the rates of these crimes, especially in relation to the murder of black women. Therefore, this thesis, which uses the hypothetical-deductive method and qualitative research, with a bibliographic review, proposes to analyze, from a decolonial perspective, how race and gender are connected to worsen the situation of black women. Thus, it will be analyzed how the Brazilian colonial formation, based on European concepts of gender and race, in addition to the construction of masculinities, impact on the greater vulnerability of black women and how to create measures based on this reality to combat violence against these women.
