| Summary: | This research, based on the perspective of feminist theorists and Criminal Law, Criminology, Anthropology and Juridical Sociology works, analyzes the close relationship between domestic violence and feminicides perpetrated in the marital and/or intimacy sphere. It aims to demonstrate the existence of an intrinsic relationship between the gender of who kills and who dies by exposing how power relations are capable of boosting and legitimizing ownership and control over the female body, placing feminicide beyond its symbolic load as an inaugural step to recognize the problematic, coferring it the status of reference for the creation of public policies to face gender violence, without neglecting considerations about punitivist desires and the consequent demand for judicialization of the feminist guidelines in the national scenario, highlighting how the Feminicide Law has contributed to this debate resumption. |
