This article aims to analyze how the reality of criminalized abortion reinforces inequalities of gender, race/ethnicity, and class, which are co-produced within the context of sexage, understood here as the appropriation of women by men, reducing them to the status of thing. The bibliographic and documentary research was carried out, from the perspective of materialistic, historical and dialectical analysis. The main conclusion is that criminalization reinforces the logic of social inequalities in Brazil and the world. This is because poor and black women are the most affected, those who die the most, and because almost all unsafe abortions in the world occur in the peripheric economies. Thus, the consequences of criminalized abortion, whether moral, health or economic, mainly impact poor, black, young women living in peripheral economies.
ResumoO objetivo deste artigo é analisar o fenômeno da violência contra a mulher em uma sociedade patriarcal-racista-capitalista, particularmente, no Brasil. Como objetivos específicos, pretendeu-se: tecer reflexões analíticas sobre a Lei Maria da Penha, considerada o principal marco legal de conquista das mulheres frente à violência; apontar desafios para a efetivação dessa lei e para a construção de uma vida sem violência. Para corresponder a esses objetivos, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, de natureza, fundamentalmente, qualitativa, ainda que a dimensão quantitativa esteja aqui presente, na manifestação de dados sobre violência contra a mulher no Brasil. As principais conclusões é de que a violência contra a mulher não se restringe às relações pessoais, familiares, mas, está presente nas diversas relações sociais de sexo, raça e classe que combinadas dialeticamente, exploram, oprimem e submetem às mulheres a múltiplas situações de desigualdade em relação aos homens; a Lei Maria da Penha é a principal e mais avançada legislação brasileira e trouxe diversos avanços normativos, todavia, sua efetividade encontra limites objetivos em um Estado patriarcal-racista-capitalista, fomentador de múltiplas violências.

AbstractThe objective of this article is to analyze the phenomenon of violence against women in a patriarchalracist-capitalist society, particularly in Brazil. As specific objectives, we intend to make analytical reflections on the Maria da Penha Law, considered the main legal framework for women's conquest of violence; and to point out challenges for the implementation of this law and for the construction of a life without violence. In order to acomplish these objectives, we have developed a bibliographical and documentary research of a fundamentally qualitative nature, even though the quantitative dimension is present in the manifestation of data on violence against women in Brazil. Our main conclusions are that violence against women is not restricted to personal relationships, but it is present in the whole social relations of sex, race and class that combine dialectically, exploit, oppress and subject women to multiple situations of inequality in relation to men; the Maria da Penha Law is the main and most advanced Brazilian legislation and has brought several normative advances, nevertheless, its effectiveness finds objective limits in a patriarchal-racist-capitalist State that foments multiple violence.
