Por um mundo ecofeminista decolonial: uma análise da violência contra a mulher e a natureza latinas a partir do Brasil e do sistema interamericano de direitos humanos

Abstract

This paper is concerned with analyzing violence against women and nature from the decolonial ecofeminist philosophical proposal and its application in Latin America by looking at Brazil and the Inter-American Human Rights System (IACHR). In this sense, the research seeks to answer to what extent decolonial ecofeminism can function as a theoretical instrument capable of understanding the interconnections between violence against women and nature, based on the analysis of Brazil and the Inter-American Human Rights System. For this, a study of human rights theory and feminist philosophy is necessary to arrive at the strands of feminism that are used in the research, such as the decolonial and ecofeminist current. Furthermore, to get to the practical reality of the debate, several ways in which violence against women and nature occur in Latin America are demonstrated, with emphasis on Brazil and Amazonian women. Finally, considering the importance of the system in protecting the human rights of vulnerable groups in Latin America, it is necessary to study the Inter-American Human Rights System and the sentences in the cases of the Inter-American Court that involve violence against women and nature cumulatively. With this complete analysis, it is possible to identify and understand a series of acts of violence committed against Latin women and nature, which have common roots and, therefore, need a joint analysis in order to be corrected. The research is built through bibliographical and documentary analysis with a qualitative approach and through the deductive methodological procedure, with theoretical research in books, articles, dissertations and judgments of the IACHR.
