Abstract:
This work aims to analyze the serious violations of Human Rights that occurred during the Brazilian civil military dictatorship from the perspective of gender relations, as well as an effort to understand what and who were the internal enemies of the regime, the so-called subversives. Furthermore, this work approached institutional torture as a recurrent practice in the period under study, the concepts of gender and patriarchy and the implications of testimony considering the "saying and silences". Finally, the background of the coup and the "Right to Memory and the Truth" were analyzed, as well as the "Transitional Justice" and their relations with Brazilian Democracy.
