The Covid-19 pandemic made the social inequality scenario in Brazil even more visible, shedding light onto the worsening of precarious and vulnerable situations within different regions and contexts. Our paper places gender issues and the socio-spatial inequalities experienced by Northeastern women from traditional and family farming communities at the center of these situations. In order to find out their main difficulties in accessing emergency assistance, we interviewed 74 women who informed us that in addition to being exposed to the risk of contamination by the coronavirus, rural-urban mobility posed a major obstacle to accessing such policies. We came to the conclusion that the federal government's neglect of poor, rural, black and, above all, female populations in the countryside is based upon a widespread structure of state violence.
