Abstract
This article aims to carry out an analysis of the political underrepresentation of black women in the Federal Legislature from the perspective of coloniality and, for that, it carries out a study on the marks of systemic violence perpetrated by the European colonizer. In order to demonstrate how these forms of violence build on European domination in Latin America, it is essential to envision the problem from a South American black feminist perspective, to unveil and conceive how this failed structure silences and makes women unfeasible occupying spaces of power and decision.
