"The Involved"

Abstract

This work examines, from the perspective of gender necropolitics, the femicides of girls and young women that took place in 2018 amid urban violence on the outskirts of Fortaleza. For this, initially, it seeks to understand the necropolitics of gender, especially its direct expression, which is femicide, highlighting the relationship between the occurrence of this crime with socioeconomic and oppression markers, such as gender, race, class, and with the biopatriarchal State structure. Then, it is intended to examine the factors that converge to the occurrence and the characteristics of the violent deaths of female adolescents that happened in peripheral territories of Fortaleza. For this work, which has a qualitative approach and a pure result, bibliographic research was carried out using official data made available by specialized institutes.
