Resumo
This research is about the phenomenon of sexual violence committed against girls understood
from the gender hierarchies and subalternization of the subjects. This form of violence is
legitimized in a patriarchal and excluding logic that maintains the power of the adult man over
the other subjects. What I proposed as a strategy to understand sexual violence against girls was
to investigate the conceptions of gender and childhood that put into action the device of
sexuality and guide such acts of subalternization, violence and violation. For this, I turn to the
theoretical-methodological fields of Feminist Epistemology, from the contributions of gender
theorists: Judith Butler, Heleieth Saffioti, Donna Haraway and Guacira Lopes Louro, and
microhistory, specifically in the analysis of criminal processes. This methodology is a form of
investigation that uses the processes or inquiries as source of analyzes of the stereotypes, values,
beliefs, and repetitions found in the testimonies. In this research, I analyze police investigations
instituted in the Specialized Department of Defense of Women, Children, Teenagers and
Elderly of Rondonópolis. A total of 358 police inquiries into crimes of rape committed by men
against children and adolescents were conducted between 2010 and 2017, followed by the
selection of 20 police inquiries into sexual violence committed against girls to conduct the
research. From the documentary corpus analyzed, I report that most of the perpetrators are
married heterosexual men and that they maintain affective-family ties with the victims and that,
on the other hand, sexual violence affects mainly the girls in their childhood, between 8 and 11
years of age. age. Through the analysis of the testimonies of the girl victims, their relatives and
their sexual aggressors, I show the established power relations, gender hierarchies, the process
of objectification and abjection of the bodies of these girls, the subalternization of childhood
and the logic of the adult being above the child and blaming the victims. The statements of the
aggressors, when giving a speech to blame the girls, seek to affirm that, regardless of the age
they have, they are no longer girls and are not legitimate victims that deserve to be protected.
It was possible to conclude that these violence occur due to a gender device structured from the
patriarchy rooted in Brazilian society. Finally, it shows that the very way in which Brazilian
democracy is organized as a "machocracy" contributes and legitimizes the discourses of sexual
aggressors and that there is a selectivity that determines who are the children and the lives that
must be protected in a society "Machocrat". The lives of these girls are also violated through
institutionalized practices that legitimize patriarchal ideals in the field of education and the
justice system. While there is a conservative uprising of movements that want to curb and
prohibit any debate on gender and sexuality in schools, the bodies of women, children and
adolescents and the LGBTQI + population continue to be intensely violatede, raped and
exterminated. It is urgent, fundamental and uncontested the need for us to construct a libertarian
education and difference that no longer reproduces the gender and age hierarchies that have
traditionally been constructed. For this, it is crucial that the training of teachers and educators
contemplate the discussions on gender, sexuality and violence that have affected Brazilian
children and teenagers.
