Abstract:

This article addresses the compulsory seizing of childrenvulnerable women in Brazil. The objective was to discuss the violation of the right to maternity; to present the imposed restrictions especially on poor, black and indigenous women, the strategic control over their lives and children, and the resistance movements that oppose segregation. The sources of the research were: narratives of women in vulnerable situations, family members and health workers; interviews with strategic actors; document analysis; field journal. It became evident that vulnerabilities linked to the criminalization of poverty and racial prejudice have justified these separations. The lack of responsibilitythe State and society towards the fragile support network for women, the devaluation of non-hegemonic productions of maternity, and the reinforcement of a world reasoning that produces violence as a tool for exclusion are forming practical limits on the right to maternity. Women and children are disregarded in their singularities. Resistance movements have shown that intersectoral dialogues are an alternative to overcome discrimination and vulnerabilities.
