O artigo trata das divergências verificadas nas estatísticas oficiais sobre a violência fatal de gênero (feminicídio) no Estado do Rio de Janeiro em 2016. A metodologia empregada é o estudo de caso, com a conjugação de métodos qualitativos e quantitativos. O objetivo principal é apontar a disparidade entre as estatísticas oficiais e o número efetivo de feminicídios. A hipótese principal da pesquisa é de que há uma grande divergência entre as estatísticas oficiais de casos de feminicídio no Estado do Rio de Janeiro e que isto pode ser explicado pelo alto índice de invisibilidade (cifra oculta) deste tipo de violência. Justifica-se a pesquisa pelo fato de o Brasil ocupar a posição de quinto colocado no ranking mundial deste tipo de violência contra a mulher, o que torna imprescindível a multiplicação de estudos acadêmicos sobre o tema. A relevância da pesquisa reside na necessidade de diagnóstico correto do problema para a formulação de políticas públicas adequadas e eficientes no enfrentamento desta modalidade de violência.Palavras-Chave: Feminicídio Invisível.

The methodology used is the case study, with the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The main objective is to point out the disparity between official statistics and the actual number of femicides. The main hypothesis of the research is that there is a great divergence between the official statistics of femicide cases in the State of Rio de Janeiro and that this can be explained by the high invisibility index (hidden figure) of this type of violence. The research is justified by the fact that Brazil ranks fifth in the world ranking of this type of violence against women, which makes it essential to multiply academic studies on the subject. The relevance of the research lies in the need to correctly diagnose the problem for the formulation of adequate and efficient public policies in the face of this type of violence.Keywords: Invisible Feminicide.

The Subject

Purpose This paper analyzes the implementation of the Life Cycle Assessment tools in the Brazilian small and medium-sized confectioning companies, associated with the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan). Methods Considering that SMEs account for more than 60% of the economy of Rio de Janeiro’s state, a multiple case study was carried out and the responses of a group of SMEs working in the state were analyzed in relation to their experience and knowledge on the subject. Results and discussion Most of the investigated companies act on the environment only with palliative actions that do not eliminate the cause or avoid environmental problems, only minimally comply with the legislation. Conclusions this research concludes that there is a great need to disseminate the concepts of environmental management and its tools, as well as the LCA theme among the industries, especially the SMEs, so that they have enough information to evaluate how they can insert the LCA as a tool of competitive strategy so that their products are recognized as sustainable, both in domestic market and abroad.

The present work, which is a qualitative research, aims to present a case study on what has been done by the municipal public power through the Special Coordination for Sexual Diversity (CEDS) in terms of guaranteeing human rights and the inclusion of the LGBT+ population of the city of Rio de Janeiro, capital of the State of Rio de Janeiro, in the South-eastern region of Brazil, from 2011 to 2016. The objective is to identify the public policies and actions adopted and the impact perceived in the improvement of working conditions and quality of life for this population. Among the possible methodological variations, this article develops a case study on programs implemented by the Coordination for Sexual Diversity (CEDS) of the City Hall of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Seeking to meet the requirement of having multiple sources of evidence required by the case studies, data were collected from documentary evidence obtained at electronic websites of the city of Rio and printed articles pertinent to published achievements, as well as an in-depth interview with the coordinator responsible for the implementation and management of the programs. Steps were taken towards valuing and including LGBT+ minorities through the creation of CEDS/ Rio, which became responsible for the defense of LGBT+ Civil Rights through the care, reception and referral of complaints made by citizens in vulnerable conditions, which contributed to the per- ception of belongingness and solidarity of the State towards its citizens. Including the excluded LGBT+ minority is an example that should be followed in order inequalities are reduced in developed and underdeveloped countries. Keywords: Reducing Discrimination, Human Rights, and Inclusion of Minority, LGBT+, Gay Friendly City, and Rio de Janeiro.
