Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2021, Vol 12, Issue 59
Abstract
The research aims to link global geopolitics, specifically the US strategy towards Latin American countries with emphasis on Venezuela, demonstrating how the structural violence of the international and inter-American system has generated situations of femicidal violence on the body of women of Venezuelan nationality, both inside and outside Venezuela. Explaining the context of generalized crisis that is experienced in the country as an expression of the struggle for power, not only of national but also international actors, and finally, analyzing the implications that this has generated on Venezuelan women, both of those who migrate as of those that remain in the country. We start from the question, how to explain, from a geopolitical and feminist perspective, the feminicidal violence that has fallen, in recent years, on Venezuelan women, inside and outside Venezuela? The qualitative methodology, intersectional and multilevel analysis is used for the theoretical and practical usefulness it brings to the case, as well as the documentary review. From the theoretical point of view, we start from the feminist perspective of International Relations.
