Abstract

The present article proposes a critical debate on access to Comprehensive Reparation in cases of desaster-crimes of major proportions. Four authors use situated epistemology to analyze the reparation model in the context of the dam rupture crime by Vale S.A. in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, which occurred on January 25, 2019. We carried out the job through the intersectional lenses of black feminism, environmental racism, territory and territoriality and decolonial and community feminisms to understand how the matrix of intersectional domination interferes with the participation in the reparation process and access to rights of the most precarious layers of the affected population. We conclude that the racist and cis-heteropatriarchal model of mining/development that generates damages and losses linked to the transversality of historical oppressions, considering the intersectionality of identities, social and bodily markers, interferes in the reparation process. For this reason, Comprehensive Reparation should be more closely linked to understanding the specificities of the different social sectors affected in accessing their rights.
