CONCEITO PARA ENTENDER A VIOLÊNCIA QUE AFLIGE A MULHER E O JOVEM NEGRO.

Abstract

The present paper proposes an analysis of the different types of violence that affect women, especially black women, establishing a relation of intersectionality with the early death of young black people from peripheral and low-income areas in Brazil. Such analysis is based on the belief that these phenomena feed back. For this purpose, the Brazilian legislation, documents that address such violence in numbers and experiences that attempted to minimize those problems were widely used, yet without significant results. In Brazil, mortality and other forms of violence against women only advance. There are an average of 135 rapes and 12 female deaths, femicides, each day, according to the current legislation. Thinking about these issues and making them visible are imperative in order for our society to be able to wake up and unite for actions that goes from breaking sexism structured paradigms to understanding that these violations are public health issues. Brazil has been bleeding black blood for over four centuries. Therefore, the numbers of violence that strike the young portion of population, the historical structures that allow the perpetuation of this scenario, will be addressed in light of the approach focused on human rights. It asses the importance of disseminating information as an instrument to empower citizens about their rights, in order to change this scenario. In 1980, 52.9% of the young population died from external causes. In 1996, this percentage increased to 67.4% of the causes of death. In this first moment of the study, this part of the population was not differentiated by ethnicity. The variable used was age. In 2014 studies for the Violence Map gained another dimension. They became larger as they added the share of the population from 15 to 29 years old and considered the racial issue in the debate. It is possible to identify that today homicides are the leading cause of death of 15-29 year olds in Brazil, and it especially affects young black males, residents of the outskirts and metropolitan areas of urban centers. Data from the Ministry of Health's SIM / Datasus shows that more than a half of the 56,337 people killed by homicide in 2012 in Brazil were young (30,072, equivalent to 53.37%), of which 77.0% were black and 93.30% male
