SUMMARY:

Clandestine abortion keeps being reported to polices in Brazil and neglected as a public health theme. In this sense, analyses inside criminal ambients are necessary, however, there are almost no sociological researches with this focus. Aiming to contribute with the filling of this
gap, this dissertation creates a panorama of public microdata produced by Securities Secretaries
about committed or consented by gestant women clandestine abortions in the country over the last
10 years (2012-2021), deepening on Minas Gerais state. Dialoguing with this material, judicial
judgments are valuated to understand social roles of people involved, such as the married woman,
the family, the fetus, the genitor, the medication seller and the health professional. These
quantitative and qualitative data are analyzed under feminist and intersectional perspective, under
faculty of reproductive justice and feminist critical criminology. The main objectives of this work
were 1) by quantitative way, identify who are and what moralities perpass women incriminated by
abortion in national level, regarding race, class, age and other present markers; 2) by qualitative
way, investigate how the act is typified as crime, printing or not attributed values to gender social
constructions and their patriarchal, racist, generational, classists and so on intersections. This work
points the sociological problems involved on the production of data and how it impacts on the
sociodemographic results of the reported women and girls. The found profile dialogs with concluded
regional researches and highlights the vulnerability of some groups of women. Furthermore,
evidences of institutional violence by the part of actors of the justice system were found as records
and trials of the cases on this context. The data and produced decisions about women accused by
clandestine abortion evidence how this act is linked to negative images of social gender roles and
race, that subjugates women and girls in relation to other involved social actors, especially the fetus,
that plenty of times receive infant and victim status.
