Se atreva a nascer mulher: uma reflexão acerca da apreciação aos direitos adquiridos pelas mulheres no Brasil

Abstract

The research deals with the approach to the treatment given by the national Judiciary, Executive and Legislative Powers to the feminine figure, exposing the mishaps faced by the Brazilian woman in the most varied aspects that refer to the non-observance of her acquired rights. In the midst of the research, special attention is given to the approach directed at the Brazilian penitentiary system with specific reference to imprisoned women, exposing the percularities and difficulties faced by these inmates in terms of both the procedural aspects of simultaneous deprivation of liberty and the very structure to which they are submitted. Notably in structural terms, the Federative Republic of Brazil has never had adequate prisons capable of providing the minimum and sufficient conditions for the correct application of the principle of human dignity, widely protected by the 1988 Federal Constitution. Specifically, the State of Maranhão is one of the federations responsible for presenting one of the worst scenarios in this regard at the national level. This study aims at the appropriation and exposure of a thought related to a more realistic scenario of society about the appreciation of women's rights, based on current and previous legislation, in order to address the influence of retrograde norms for the current enforcement of women's rights. The theoretical-methodological aspect to which one subscribes is legal-sociological. Regarding research procedures, it is bibliographical.
