Narratives of adolescents about the death of girls in the dynamics of violence in Ceará

Abstract:

This research presents the results of the analysis of the death of girls in the dynamics of violence in Ceará, based on the narrative of adolescents deprived of freedom. This problem arises from the increase in torture followed by the murder of adolescents and young women in Ceará. For this reason, adolescents deprived of liberty, active in drug trafficking, participate in this research, a profile that is more vulnerable to this phenomenon. We point to femigenocide and the “decree” as devices for killing adolescents and young women. Finally, the teenagers' narratives indicated that they are in a kind of crossfire, in a condition of greater vulnerability and precariousness in their lives.
