Contra I:

The article’s central hypothesis concerns the failure to recognize the specifics of indigenous women’s cultural identities, and the consequent violence to which they are subjected. This hypothesis leads us to a re-discussion of the Brazilian state’s actual legal logic, which seeks to protect inherent rights only within the paradigm of white women, ignoring the possibility of multi-jurisdictional application, in a society characterized by multiculturalism. Thus the main objective of this research is to identify, by mobilizing a markedly interdisciplinary literature, and through an analytic/prescriptive study, the challenges involved in the realization of a set of culturally relevant rights that, given their absence from Brazilian norms, leaves these women in a state of social and legal limbo.
