Colonialidade do gênero: estudos sobre a violência praticada contra as mulheres racializadas no Brasil

Abstract

In this study, we seek to analyze how coloniality, racism together with sexism, act to maintain the violence perpetrated against Brazilian women in contemporary times. We seek to present how coloniality is an important category to understand the forms of domination over bodies that have historically been kept under control and punishment - the female body and the non-white body (DIAS; ONUMA; SANTOS, 2022) and how these structures are maintained to maintain the violence practiced against women in our country today. We propose to deepen the debate on violence against women, with emphasis on domestic and family violence, considering that, in Brazil, the highest rate of violence still occurs within the home, according to the most recent official documents, made available by the Federal Government, such as the Public Security Yearbook (2020, 2021 and 2022), produced by the Brazilian Public Security Forum (FBSP) and the Applied Economic Research Institute (IPEA), which reveals racist and sexist oppression present in the Brazilian reality, which maintains the structure of privileges unchanged – since the colonization process. This is a bibliographical and documentary research, from which we resort to official public documents to publicize data on violence against black women today.
