Sumario:Actions by the Brazilian state implement the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) are analyzed based on the concept of intersectionality. These actions were presented in reports sent by the Brazilian state to the CEDAW Committee (1984-2014). These documents, organized with content analysis, reveal that the national position has been to ignore the intersectional elements of discrimination, even when faced with specific calls from the CEDAW Committee. The methodology was pure, deductive and descriptive.
