Sumario:In this paper I start from the interest in reflecting on gender violence as (and from) State violations, arguing that incursions into certain territories by armed agents of the State are closely connected to the "invasions" of female or feminized bodies by the same agents. As empirical material, I use a statement made to the Civil Police Commission of Rio de Janeiro in 2005, after yet another violent police operation in a Rio de Janeiro favela, as well as excerpts from an international regulation that treats sexual violence as a war crime. For this analysis, the ethnography of documents is being mobilized, in the sense worked on by Ferreira and Lowenkron (2020), together with past reflections, elaborated in fieldwork with social movements in favelas since 2004.
