Encarceramento feminino: Entre as particularidades do gênero e o Estado de coisas inconstitucional

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the historical and sociological aspects of gender inequality, going through the oppression experienced by women in society and their consequent insertion into criminal conduct, demonstrating how the peculiarities of gender function as a form of violence behind bars. This analysis will have as background the unconstitutional state of things, in which the Supreme Federal Court recognized, through ADPF 347/DF, that the Brazilian prison system is crossed by systematic violations of human rights. For this, the research will evoke human and fundamental rights, both nationally and internationally, in addition to judgments and legislation relevant to the theme to be developed in order to understand how the typical needs of women are met within the prison system.
