Abstract

This article proposes to analyze gender violence in Brazil based on the concept of war against women, whose objective is to understand the male violence that materializes in the bodies of women intrinsically linked to political, economic, labor and institutional violence. In the light of neoliberalism, which produces new subjectivities, precariousness and exploitation, and of the health crisis resulting from the pandemic of the Covid-19 virus, it appears that women are the first to feel the impacts of the virus and cases of explicit increase in the indexes domestic violence exposes the interconnection of violence, which needs to become an analytical element about the current life condition and strategies to resist incisive precarious processes.
