This doctoral thesis focuses on gender-based violence against women and the work of the Mato Grosso do Sul Public Prosecutor’s Office to fight it from an ethnic-racial perspective. The objective is to analyze why gender-based violence against black women grows, according to official data. To do so, the context of racism in Brazil is studied; the notion of intersectionality – occurrence of multiple factors of discrimination (racism, sexism and classism) – is explored, demonstrating why black women are in a situation of greater vulnerability. The theoretical support is based on Pierre Bourdieu’s teachings and on Joan Wallach Scott and Judith Butler’s definitions, regarding the relations of power and domination. Heleieth Saffioti’s writings, contextualizing the trajectory of women in time, have also been considered, as well as Ana Lúcia Sabadell’s work and Hugo Nigro Mazzilli’s teachings, especially regarding the performance of the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The historical-philosophical approach addresses the issue in a general manner, seeking elements to understand the process that has made women the object of this kind of violence. Another aspect studied is the prevention of and struggle against gender-based violence against women both at international level, analyzing the regulatory documents for the confrontation, and at national level, focusing on an analysis of the impacts arising from the enactment of Law 11,340 / 2006 (Maria da Penha Law), especially examining the procedural nature of crimes committed in situations of domestic violence, which remain the majority in statistics. Empirically, the focus falls on local initiatives of Mato Grosso do Sul Public Prosecutor’s Office and the situation of gender-based violence against black women, analyzing several sources of information, such as classics of philosophy and feminism history, international conventions on relevant legislation – especially the abovementioned law –, and quantitative data on the subject. With this study, gender-based violence against women in Mato Grosso do Sul and the strategies undertaken to confront it were outlined
