Femicide is a type of gender violence, as it is the intentional death of women in situations of domestic violence or through disregard and discrimination against the female gender condition. In Brazil, this criminal modality in terms of contempt and discrimination against the female gender condition was typified as a specific crime by Law No. 14,994/2024, which changed the normative provision that dealt with Feminicide since 2015, inserting article 121-A into the Penal Code. Being a type of intentional crime against life, the trial of feminicide must go through a Jury Court. Understanding the symbolisms of this trial ritual, as well as the narrative constructions to reach the truth made official in the case records, we begin to conceive the relevance of performativity, not only in the judicial process, but how it presents itself in a double way in the interaction between the State and understandings of gender. In view of this, the present work has the problem question: how does State-gender performativity influence the perception of Justice by relatives of victims in feminicide processes? In this sense, the thesis has the general objective of analyzing, through the words-acts of family members of women victims of feminicide, how State-gender performativity influences their perceptions of Justice. To respond to the problem, the chosen methodology was the use of the dialectical method, with a qualitative approach. As methodological procedures, the research used bibliographic and documentary analysis, open interviews with family members of women murdered in the state of Maranhão, free and systematic observation in the Forum of São Luís-MA and Paço do Lumiar-MA. It was concluded that sometimes the State appears as a guarantor of rights, sometimes as a permissive of acts of gender violence, just as Justice, gendered as a divine woman, appears more as an ideal than as a materialization.
