Abstract

The main objective of the research was to analyze feminicide as an expression of power in gender relations, in a social context with high levels of violence against women, whose most brutal expression materializes in the trivialization of femicide. It is a qualitative research, in a transdisciplinary hue, particularly legal and sociological, founded on several sources of evidence, the main ones being bibliographic research, and the survey of data related to violence against women. Violence and the unequal distribution of power in the relationship between genders will be analyzed based on the theoretical contributions elaborated by Bourdieu (1989, 2003). The study showed that, in Brazil, high rates of violence, secondary criminalization and identity degradation are factors that generate insecurity and indignity for women.
