Abstract

The debate about violence against women has increased and disseminated to the most varied sectors of society during the last century. Not surprisingly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a period not only of greater visibility of cases, but also of intense concern for women victims of violence. In view of this, the present article proposes to reflect on violence against women in the pandemic period of the new coronavirus, emphasizing the phenomenon of underreporting of cases and problematizing the racial invisibility of women victims of violence. For this purpose, the study made use of the analytical tool called intersectionality. Bibliographic and documentary research was carried out. Before COVID-19, violence against women was already a major social problem and a violation of human rights, which was aggravated by the isolation measures required to stem the spread of the new coronavirus, because women were compelled to spend more time with his partners, making denunciations difficult and causing underreporting of cases. Not only, it is important to observe the racial profile of women victims of violence, considering that black women are the most vulnerable, especially in the pandemic context, because the difficulties in accessing health services, among other issues. It is necessary that policies to combat violence against women are based on the pluralities that characterize Brazilian women, differences that are not restricted to gender, involving several other characteristics, such as race.
