Abstract
The goal of this article is, by revealing the feminization of black migration in Santa Catarina, to claim how gender and race impact the experiences of female bodies racialized as non-white in Brazil. This work uses as empirical reference data obtained during assistance provided at the Reference Center in Immigrant Assistance (CRAI) in partnership with Eirenè: “Center for Decolonial and Postcolonial Research and Practices applied to International Relations and International Law” of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), from May 2018 to May 2019. By resorting to black intersectional feminist and decolonial epistemologies, the article reveals the profile of african and afro-caribean women that seeked assistance during the mentioned period, and highlights the invisibilization of intersectionalities between race and gender in the studies about human mobility. Such silencing ratifies the hegemonic notion that universalizes the category of migrant woman, and perpetuates hierarchies of coloniality.
