Racialized and Gendered Impoverishment and Violence in Ceará, Brazil: Narratives of Surviving Mothers and Sisters of Murdered Black Women.

FORTALEZA (Brazil); BRAZIL

This research analyzes trajectories of rights violations at the intersections of impoverishment, racism and patriarchal violence against mothers and sisters of young Black women murdered in Ceará, a state in Northeastern Brazil. The persistence and protagonism of these women are documented through three interviews with and three field diaries of family members of murdered young women. The data was analyzed using the qualitative analysis software Atlas Ti 7.0. Three cross-cutting, dominant themes include the psychosocial impacts of poverty, the impacts of homicide on the health and social life of Black women, and violations of the rights of family members.
