Mortalidade de mulheres negras em idade reprodutiva

Abstract

In recent years, the high mortality rate of women from situations of violence has become a public health issue, configuring a worrying situation, which involves both institutions and society in general. Femicide, today, is considered a crime constituted by the death of women due to their sexual gender, being typified in our Penal Code through art. 121, § 2, VI. According to sociological studies, these numbers of violence against women are related to the construction of a society based on patriarchy, which establishes an unequal power between men and women, especially in the domestic sphere. Statistical data on the subject, in turn, indicate that the numbers of black women affected by this type of violence are high, with such women concentrated in the reproductive age group. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the mortality of women of reproductive age in an approach to femicide, as well as to indicate how nursing can act in the fight against femicide. The research under discussion was carried out based on data collected on the DataSUS platform and on the databases of the Brazilian Public Security Forum will also be carried out, so that the research is as complete as possible, a time interval between the years 2015 and 2020. In addition to the DataSUS survey, a survey of Scientifc Electronic Library Online (SciELO), CAPES Platform and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences) was also carried out in order to support the discussion about the results statistics obtained.
