N2 - Coloniality is constructed through a tangle of multiple hierarchies. Moreover, peripheral Black women are often the ones affected by colonial violence. Strategies of reparation for these violations must be concrete for these historically violated groups. Thus, this study intends to analyze the basis of colonial violence against Black women in poverty and the possible governmental strategies of reparation developed by the Committee for the Prevention and Fight Against Violence (CPFV) and the Acolhe Network. The latter is a project of the General Public Defender’s Office of Ceará aimed at assisting family members whose loved ones who are victims of homicide and victims who are survivors of acts of violence. We have the following questions to guide our discussion: How does violence against Black women go back to the origins of colonial gender violence? And how are resistance strategies being developed against this violence? In light of this, this article focuses on discussions about gender violence based on the deaths of young Black women in the state of Ceará in the dynamics of urban violence. Moreover, it outlines some strategies of governmental resistance against these acts of violence.
