Women's Police Stations

Více o knize

The book explores the establishment of women's police stations in Sao Paulo, highlighting their role in addressing crimes against women, including domestic violence and assault. Run entirely by police women, these stations represent a significant shift in the relationship between women and the state, reflecting broader themes of gendered citizenship within the context of Brazil's political landscape. Cecilia MacDowell Santos provides a critical examination of this phenomenon, emphasizing its implications for women's rights and state authority.
