Documentário Brasil: Mulher

·Released

Drawing on secret files from the SNI (National Intelligence Service) and the CIA, this work reveals how structural violence against women was central to the logic of the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964–1985) and how its legacies remain active today. Grounded in declassified U.S. documents, historical images, and testimonies from women who experienced the repression—including members of the *Grupo de Mulheres Trabalhadoras de Londrina* (Working Women’s Group of Londrina) and the feminist newspaper *Brasil Mulher*—the study exposes the misogynistic and authoritarian roots that continue to fuel the criminalization of social movements and structural violence, as evidenced by the high rates of femicide recorded in the country. This work is the result of scientific research conducted by a team of scholars of State University of Londrina (UEL), State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and UNESP linked to a project funded by the CNPq and the Fundação Araucária.
