Feminismos brasileiros nas relações com o Estado. Contextos e incertezas

Abstract

AbtractThis text aims to rethink the relationship between Brazilian feminisms and the state. Dialogue and continuous tensions are grounded in the feminist agenda that not only presupposes a cultural revolution regarding subjectivities, but that also exacts a notable reform or political revolution. On the one hand, while addressing violence against women is gaining ground, on the other, education for gender equality and the legalization of abortion suffers what has been called "backlash". There is a clash between neoconservatives movements that seek to imposed their moral viewpoint on the whole society and feminist movements that defend the ethics of individual autonomy, plurality and social rights.

O avanço das forças políticas no Legislativo brasileiro em prol de uma moralidade conservadora e contrária às políticas referidas a gênero e a diversidade sexual, já vinha se organizando desde o ano de 2005.…”

“#queroviajarsozinhasemmedo”: novos registros das articulações entre gênero, sexualidade e violência no Brasil

“…It is worth mentioning the discussions about charges of sexual violence on university campuses 38 and the campaigns #EuNaoMerecoSerEstuprada, reacting to the promotion of a study 36 Primavera feminista no Brasil, El País, 12/11/2015 [http://brasil.elpais.com/brasil/2015/11/13/opinion/1447369533_406426.html]. 37 In the reading conducted by Lia Zanota Machado (2016) this conservative rise had begun earlier, considering that the great tension that changed the terms of negotiation between feminism and the state began in 2005/2006. Beginning with the denunciation of the "Mensalão" congressional vote selling scandal, in an exchange of political currency, the government had maintained support from the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil as long as it would not promote the legalization of abortion.…”
