Rita Segato

About the visit of Rita Segato to our university,

 I'm going to write about her.

She is a feminist anthropologist,

born on August 14, 1951, in Argentina.

After finishing her PhD studies, she became

 a professor at the University of Brasilia.

 there begins with his studies of gender

 violence, moving later to Ciudad Juarez.

The vast majority of their works talk about 

the patriarchal structure, making visible, 

apart from the gender,

 race and social 

class in Latin America, as a colonial and

 oppression mark. Some of his most

 recognized works are "The elementary 

structures of violence",

 "The nation and its others",  "The 

writing on the body of the

 murdered women in Ciudad Juárez",

 "The new forms of war and the body of 

women" and

"Build strategies to eradicate gender violence"  

Regarding my interest in her, I am impressed not only by her ability to analyze

 patriarchy, but also by her emphasis on the community, her perseverance and 

the tenacity and authenticity of her struggle
