Violence against women is a serious violation of human rights. A complex phenomenon, this type of violence is related to a patriarchal conception of reality, occurring mostly in private space, where, as a rule, the power of the state is less present, being replaced by male power. Given this, this research has the following problem: is there a relationship between violence against women by firearms and the growth of anti-democratic discourses in Brazil? To answer this question, a quantitative and qualitative research will be carried out, analyzing data on violence against women by firearms in Brazil during periods of resurgence of anti-democratic discourses, especially during the years of the former government. -President Jair Bolsonaro, a period in which anti-democratic speeches intensified in Brazil. In addition, the research will carry out bibliographic and documentary analysis. At the end of the work, the aim is to analyze the relationship between firearm violence against women and anti-democratic conceptions, that is, to glimpse whether anti-democratic perceptions are also anchored in a conception that violates human rights and is patriarchal.
