O feminismo decolonial e a politização do corpo da mulher: a luta pela descriminalização do aborto na América do Sul

Abstract

The process of colonization shaped the construction of a highly unequal international system, where the persistence of epistemologies based on Eurocentrism and alterity ensured the political, social and economic instruments of oppression to the indigenous, to the black and not less important to the woman. Decolonial feminism proposes to identify the problems that involve being women in countries of the global South, from the recognition of the intersectionality linked to this issue, thus pointing to the fact that colonized and nonwhite women have specific social representations that are not reflected into the feminisms until then hegemonic. In this sense, it will be used the abortion legislation in force in South America as a phenomenon of analysis for the theoretical apparatus in question in order to prove the hypothesis that there are colonial remnants that contribute to the persistence of the criminalization of abortion in countries of the south-global.
