| description |
This study analyzes how the denial of the right to information in the educational sphere acts as a form of biopolitical violence directed at feminized and sexually dissident bodies in Brazil. The objective is to understand how discourses and policies against sexual and gender education operate to restrict rights and reinforce conservative norms. Methodologically, a documentary and critical discourse analysis was conducted on legislative projects, educational regulations, and materials disseminated by political and religious actors opposing the so-called “gender ideology,” between 2014 and 2022. The results reveal a systematic offensive to exclude content related to gender and sexualities from basic education, legitimized by a moralizing discourse that frames these topics as threats to childhood and family. It is concluded that this denial of the right to information is not merely an educational omission, but a deliberate strategy of social control that especially impacts women, youth, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. The Brazilian case illustrates how education becomes a battleground between democratic and authoritarian projects, exposing deep tensions around citizenship, bodies, and knowledge. |

Este estudio analiza cómo la negación del derecho a la información en el ámbito educativo actúa como una forma de violencia biopolítica dirigida a cuerpos feminizados y disidentes sexuales en Brasil. El objetivo es comprender cómo discursos y políticas contraios a la educación sexual y de género operan para restringir derechos y reforzar normas conservadoras. Metodológicamente, se realiza un análisis documental y crítico del discurso de proyectos legislativos, normativas educacionales y materiales difundidos por actores políticos y religiosos contrarios a la llamada “ideología de género”, entre 2014 y 2022. Los resultados evidencian una ofensiva sistemática para excluir de la educación básica de los contenidos relacionados con género y sexualidades, legitimada por un discurso moralizante que asocia estos temas a una amenaza a la infancia y a la familia. Se concluye que esta negación del derecho a la información no es solo una omisión educativa, sino una estrategia deliberada de control social que impacta especialmente en mujeres, juventudes y personas LGBTQIA+. El caso brasileño ilustra cómo la educación se convierte en campo de disputa entre proyectos democráticos y autoritarios, revelando tensiones profundas sobre ciudadanía, cuerpos y saberes. Este estudo analisa como a negação do direito à informação na esfera educacional atua como uma forma de violência biopolítica dirigida a corpos feminizados e sexualmente dissidentes no Brasil. O objetivo é compreender como os discursos e as políticas contra a educação sexual e de gênero operam para restringir direitos e reforçar normas conservadoras. Metodologicamente, foi realizada uma análise documental e crítica do discurso sobre projetos de lei, regulamentos educacionais e materiais divulgados por atores políticos e religiosos que se opõem à chamada “ideologia de gênero”, entre 2014 e 2022. Os resultados revelam uma ofensiva sistemática para excluir conteúdos relacionados a gênero e sexualidades da educação básica, legitimada por um discurso moralizante que enquadra esses temas como ameaças à infância e à família. Conclui-se que essa negação do direito à informação não é meramente uma omissão educacional, mas uma estratégia deliberada de controle social que afeta especialmente mulheres, jovens e indivíduos LGBTQIA+. O caso brasileiro ilustra como a educação se torna um campo de batalha entre projetos democráticos e autoritários, expondo tensões profundas em torno da cidadania, dos corpos e do conhecimento.
