A preliminary analysis of the emergency protective measures granted to migrant women in the context of sheltering in the city of Boa Vista-RR

Abstract

This article aims to address violence against migrants and the implementation of emergency protective measures granted to Venezuelan women in a sheltering context in Boa Vista-RR. The research has an exploratory character and the data collection procedures were predominantly bibliographic and documentary. In the recent Venezuelan exodus, female migration has been gaining prominence in the state of Roraima, one of the most lethal for women. However, women in situations of mobility and shelter are more susceptible to suffering violence due to their multiple vulnerabilities. Those who are sheltered, despite the protection system in shelters, are also exposed to family violence. Thus, gender violence as a social issue is systemic and linked to the practices of power and male domination, typical of patriarchal logic.
