Through quantitative data analysis from 2016-2023 on violence in politics in Brazil, and manually re-coded by me to consider categories of VAWIP, I seek to answer three questions: do women and men experience different types of violence as political actors in institutional politics?; among female politicians, are non-white women more targeted than white women?; and are women with progressive political agendas more targeted than conservative women? Based on a literature review on women’s political representation and VAWIP, I argue that women are more prone to psychological and semiotic violence, that black women are disproportionally more targeted, and that women in left-leaning parties are affected more than conservative women. Through initial data exploration and testing, I partially confirm my first argument, and tentatively confirm the remaining two. I ultimately conclude that further statistical testing, as well as a more comprehensive data collection with more specific keywords will allow us to see VAWIP patterns more clearly in future studies.
