A violência de gênero contra mulheres negras no período pós Lei Maria da Penha

Uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

This article reports on a research which aimed to understand how gender and race influence violence against black women; describe the intersectional perspective present in gender violence; verify the presence of the intersectional perspective in the Maria da Penha Law; and identify the existence of this debate in the field of Psychology. The employed method was an integrative review of published works in the CAPES periodical database, found using the descriptors: "violência de gênero" AND "mulheres negras" AND "Lei Maria da Penha". Sixteen articles were included for discussion, published between 2010 and 2022. Most of the articles were written by women: 37 female authors and only three male authors. The analysis of the articles pointed out a scarcity in the deepening of the gender and race subordination axis. However, most of the works reinforced the need for intersectional focus in the analyses carried out on the theme of violence against women. The results pointed out that the largest number of victims of violence are black women because they suffer doubly from racism and sexism, showing that the Maria da Penha Law is not equally effective for the different bodies and experiences of women.
