The Alyne Case
View through CrossRef
This chapter analyzes the 2002 maternal death of Alyne da Silva Pimentel and the 2011 decision made by the Committee for the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) on behalf of Alyne da Silva Pimentel’s family. The chapter argues that the Alyne case highlights the intersectional relationship among gender, race, and class in shaping Afro-Brazilian women’s vulnerability to maternal death. The analysis explores the racial dimensions of maternal mortality in Brazil and highlights the potential benefits that can be gained from using a human rights approach to address African-descendant women’s experiences of intersectional discrimination.
