A Guerra às drogas e o encarceramento de mulheres no Brasil: uma análise interseccional acerca do genocídio estratégico em terras-brasilis

Abstract

Current drug control policies are transforming Brazilian lands in a scenario of massive increase in incarceration related to drug trafficking and a totally repressive reality when analyzing gender, social class and race of the detainees. From the “War on Drugs” speech promoted by Nixon, to the Brazilian Drug Law, it is seen an action policy focusing on the repression and imprisonment of individuals and substances. This monograph is focused on the massive increase in the incarceration of women, seeking to understand the impact of drug policy in this regard, in addition to verifying the profile of detainees who are excluded from their participation and existence due to this action. In this work, intersectionality between class, gender and race will be used to understand the audiences most affected in this strategic genocide. The methodology used was bibliographic surveys, especially through the contributions of Angela Davis and Juliana Borges, in addition to the analysis of public and free data available by the Infopen Women. The reality in terra-brasilis is that of a conscious mechanism for the imprisonment of abject bodies, the majority of which are black, poor and transvestite women.
