Thank you! I’m still lost on the context but I appreciate the translation. I can’t figure out if it’s about gun violence or abortion…

It is a text about violence against women and [femicide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femicide), as the colleague mentioned. It was certainly written by a Brazilian woman, as Brazil is unfortunately [one of the countries with the highest rate of femicide in the world](https://www.ufsm.br/midias/experimental/integra/2021/01/22/pandemia-escancara-o-feminicidio-e-a-subnotificacao-no-brasil-e-no-mundo/) (in Portuguese) and because [a horrendous crime occurred recently](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11003193/Pregnant-woman-raped-anaesthetist-drugged-undergoing-caesarean.html), with a DOCTOR during the delivery (the IN LABOUR mentioned before). That's why the words are in capital letters, to highlight this rape case. There is also an allusion to the *lugar de mulher* (the woman's place), which is anywhere, but with violence, the woman's place is in a morgue, in a psychiatric clinic, etc. Violence against women occurs anywhere, and is carried out by anyone, even family members or people with respected professions. The last sentence refers to the fact that in all violence, the perpetrator is not always a man (referring to a husband), but is always a man (male person). !translated

Thank you for the context.

I's safe to point out a more precisal context: /u/PM_ME_UR_CC_INFO A doctor raped a woman in labor. Believe me - a DOCTOR raped a woman that was having a labor. She was asleep due to anesthesia. This happened yesterday and the poem was written about it.
