Mulheres e Encarceramento: evolução normativa para além da maternidade

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss about the normative evolution of the rights of incarcerated women, concerning the difference between the tendency to a more comprehensive approach in the international law and a more restrictive evolution in Brazilian law, which is mostly limited to the protection of rights related to motherhood issues. It also points to the necessity of investigations and studies to develop reforms in the criminal policy according to a gender perspective.
