SUMMARY:

This research deals with intrafamily sexual violence, with a focus on crimes of rape of a vulnerable person in the state of Acre. Given the high incidence of these crimes in the region, the research seeks to understand the socio-cultural dynamics that naturalize and perpetuate this form of violence, particularly in rural and rubber plantation contexts. The general objective of the study is to identify and understand the socio-cultural dynamics that naturalize and maintain incestuous sexual violence by fathers against their daughters. To achieve this goal, the research proposes to: (i) historiograph the formation process of Acre since the first rubber boom, based on the development of a patriarchal family model; (ii) identify the relationship between perpetrators and victims in 464 closed penal execution cases, which were processed in 2023 in the Acre Penal Execution Court; (iii) to analyze 50 criminal execution cases in which fathers were convicted of raping their daughters, establishing the profile of the perpetrators and victims, describing the dynamics of the conduct and the relationship with patriarchy; and (iv) to understand the perspective of men convicted of raping their daughters in rural and rubber plantation contexts. The research adopts a qualitative approach, combining documentary and ethnographic research. The documentary research involved the analysis of 464 closed penal execution cases, as well as an in-depth study of 50 cases of incestuous sexual violence by fathers against their daughters. The field research was carried out in two prison units in Acre, where semi-structured interviews were conducted with five men convicted of rape of a vulnerable person. The results reveal that incestuous sexual violence in Acre is a complex and intersectional phenomenon, rooted in patriarchal structures and cultural norms that normalize abuse and gender inequality. The research identified a pattern of intrafamily sexual violence, with fathers and stepfathers being the main perpetrators. The victims are predominantly girls, with a higher incidence between the ages of 10 and 11, and the abuse tends to be long-lasting, with a median of three years. The research concludes that incestuous sexual violence in Acre is a persistent social problem with deep roots in local history and culture. It highlights the importance of deconstructing the patriarchal structures and socio-cultural norms that perpetuate gender violence, and of promoting equality and respect for the rights of women and girls. The research also highlights the need to strengthen support networks for victims and to implement effective public policies to prevent and combat sexual violence, which
