WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS IN PRISONS: THE INSERT OF GENDER IN JUDICIAL DECISIONS AND THE BANGKOK RULES

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the realization of the rights of women imprisoned as part of what is recognized as women's Human Rights, through the elaboration of the Bangkok Rules in 2010. It also seeks to reflect on the importance of incorporating gender and intersectional analysis for the creation and interpretation of these documents. For this, the techniques of analysis of decisions, qualitatively and quantitatively worked, and bibliographic analysis were used in this research, selecting especially feminist productions on the subject Through this study it was possible to conclude that, despite the advance in the recognition of human rights of women imprisoned through international documents and notional legislation, there is a distance between these norms and the interpretation that judges make o f them, and it is necessary to narrow these axes. This con be done through the elaborotion of interpretative protocols and guidelines that insert intersectional perspectives for decisions.
