Análise acerca do sistema carcerário feminino: como se dá a proteção aos direitos das mulheres privadas de liberdade sob a ótica de gênero e direitos humanos

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the relationship between incarcerated women in Brazil and the Brazilian prison system, addressing how the lack of information about the rights provided by law can directly affect the lives of women deprived of liberty, since being a woman and being deprived of liberty increases the condition of vulnerability. In the development of the research, the profile of women in prison was pointed out, as the law of penal execution deals with these issues and what is the role of the prison system regarding the protection of these women's rights. Besides all the issues that involve the practice of crimes, there is still much discussion about the discrimination that these women go through every day before a society that, still, is based on macho, power, and domination, which, since ancient times, dictates that women must act in accordance with predefined behaviors. Thus, there is a great need for the realization of rights and duties, and a government policy of resources for the health care of women deprived of their liberty is necessary. In view of this, it is of utmost importance to analyze whether the State guarantees minimum dignified conditions for women in prisons, since respect for the dignity of the human person in prisons goes far beyond just respect for laws and international treaties, it concerns a duty, defined by the Charter of the Republic of 1988, to the State. To this end, the methodology used in the research was the analysis of laws, articles, bibliographical research and doctrinal discussions.
