Abstract
This article discusses violence against vulnerable social segments such as black women and coping strategies, considering different axes of oppression in the perspective of human rights and intersectionality. Quilombola women and men and professionals working in urban and rural quilombos in Rio Grande do Sul were interviewed. The narratives were submitted to content analysis. The results indicate that these women experience oppressions that flow along the axes of gender, race / ethnicity, generation and social class. They experienced structural violence through the difficulty of access to public policies, institutional racism and non-recognition of their ethnic-cultural identity in schools. The resistance is effective from the local organization to access the rights of citizenship.
