"DEUZELI VANINES - The prohibition of reproductive rights".
Abortion. File. Criminal law. Black women. Racism.
Deuzeli a young black woman, rape victim at the age of 19. She got pregnant of the violence and when seeking right to legal abortion was systematically subjected to institutional violence that hindered her to abort. In this dissertation, I analyse how the instrument of the raciality crossed by the patriarchate used the criminal law for imposing to Deuzeli Vanines an unprotection regime. I seek to understand in which way the denial of sexual and reproductive rights, in particular the right and access for abortion, occur and determine a death policy for the poor and black women. Therefore, I explored the judicial files of the case in that Deuzeli figures as a victim and as an author, and the ethnographic documentary “À margem do Corpo” (A disembodied woman) (2006). The files allowed me to reconstitute the itinerary of decisions which resulted at the top of the lack of assistance and destitution to Deuzeli. The analysis demonstrates that the patriarchal moral and the racism organize the criminal bureaucracy producing illegal interdicts for fruition of rights and inhibiting that black women enjoy of self-nomination and self-determination.
