Mulheres e moradia: despejos e remoções enquanto violências de gênero

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the process of feminization of the Brazilian housing deficit, reflecting on the feminization of poverty and domestic violence from their interconnections with the housing issue. It also discusses the Protocol for Judgments with a Gender Perspective, published by the National Council of Justice in 2021, seeking to advance the proposals regarding possessory actions in order to understand these conflicts as gendered. Through a qualitative feminist approach, based on empirical data such as social indices, as well as gender, race and class studies, we promote an intersectional look at conflicts involving urban housing, which particularly affect women, especially black women and single mothers, who are the majority in the housing deficit. Thus, we conclude and defend that evictions and forced removals are initiatives that consist of violence with a marked gender bias, especially for black and peripheral women, exposing them to other types of rights violations beyond housing, because they are women.
