INIQUIDADES DE GÊNEROS NA “GUERRA ÀS DROGAS”

Abstract

From the incarceration of women in Brazil and trafficking as a prominent crime, we propose to revisit public policies in the Brazilian context, including the theoretical-political perspective that critically considers social gender inequities. Mainly by subaltern feminist authors, especially those who focus on the horizons of critical criminology, this article aims to introduce a brief overview of inequities in the prison system linked to the dynamics of biopower and in particular, to women immersed in the social context of “war to drugs.” To dialogue and, finally, rethink possibilities that counter the hegemonic heteronormtive policy, this theoretical research is divided into three sections in addition to the introductory circumscription and final considerations. In principle, we present the penitentiary structure based on the rates of women in prison in the federative entities, followed by the context of trafficking and the insertion of women in the “war on drugs” policy and then, we look for ways to co-construction of Brazilian public policies, confronting normative based on the control of bodies that leads to gender inequities. Finally, the last considerations focus on transdisciplinary convergences to open paths that can eminently combat and reduce the exterminations and oppressions that still predominate through social benefits and privileges structured hierarchically in the categorical scientific inventions of classes, genders and races.
