A violência institucional como impacto da revitimização em mulheres vítimas de crimes sexuais no Brasil

Abstract

Considering that the numbers in relation to sexual violence against women in Brazil grow every day, and these, although they currently have the protection of their sexual dignity, remain at the mercy of the criminal system actors, which influenced by the logic of patriarchal and macho culture, The present study deals with women as victims of crimes against sexual dignity and the consequent institutional violence that victimizes them, in order to understand the impacts of this process of re-victimization. To do so, it was necessary to describe the historical and legislative evolution about the crimes against sexual dignity, to highlight that women are the main victims of crimes against sexual dignity and suffer constantly with the institutional violence that causes revictimization, to point out that the institutional violence linked to revictimization is a harmful practice for the criminal justice system and to approach the Mari Ferrer case, as an example that a woman victim of sexual violence can be institutionally violated and revictimized. A basic research with a qualitative and exploratory approach was carried out, based on a bibliographic review. Therefore, it was possible to conclude that even though the woman has protection of her sexual dignity conferred by the legal system, in some cases she faces obstacles in the search to enforce her rights when a violation occurs against her, because the members of the justice institutions through stigmatized actions, based on a patriarchal and macho logic, manage to reproduce a new type of violence, called institutional, which in addition to re-victimizing the victims, causes damage to a psychological and moral nature, apt to commit irregularities that make the public service of justice ineffective and susceptible to distrust.
