criminal legislation classifies and qualifies certain crimes. 211 The creation of an autonomous offense is not the only tool available to the State to highlight the seriousness of a behavior. Among other mechanisms, there is the possibility of attributing a specific nomen juris to a crime in its aggravated form, giving greater prominence and perception of seriousness to the modality in question. 112. In Brazil, the discussion on the classification of the act of killing a woman for reasons of her gender, considered a structural problem in the country, has provided valuable lessons. Despite the fact that Brazilian criminal legislation already provides for the concept of homicide qualified due to clumsy motive, a category in which cases of death due to gender violence could fall, the Brazilian legislator chose to create a specific aggravating circumstance for the homicide of women as a result of their sex. 113. Law no. 13.104/2015, however, went beyond including the mere description of the conduct in the Criminal Code, 212 providing for the inclusion of the name "feminicide" as the title of this aggravating circumstance, 213 with the purpose of giving greater visibility to the occurrence of homicides of women for gender reasons and promote awareness, sensitize and change the patriarchal mentality that underlies the high rates of gender violence. 214 Furthermore, by making the problem visible to the population, the State reinforces the obligation of its authorities to take measures to prevent the death of women, through the creation of appropriate public policies for the prevention and eradication of violence, as well as the criminal prosecution of the aggressor. 215 Naming feminicide fulfills the essential function of reversing the social perception of gender violence as something that "mitigates" - and does not aggravate - a homicide, an archaic perception regarding "honor crimes" whose consequences remain entrenched in contemporary societies. 216 Similarly, incest has been recognized for much of history as a circumstance that mitigates or even excludes rape as a punishable offense, a perception actively countered by the establishment of the nomen juris "incestuous rape." e. Partial conclusion 114. Therefore, by serving the imperative of combating the "culture of incest" without increasing the number of crimes classified in the Criminal Code, the creation of the nomen juris "incestuous rape" is a reparative measure of non-repetition applicable in this case. Specifically, it would try to call the form of the offense in Article 308 ("rape") where aggravated by incest as "incestuous rape" and the form aggravated by incest in Article 308 bis ("rape of a child or adolescent") as "incestuous rape of a child or adolescent." I believe that this solution adopted by the Court adequately fulfills the purpose of giving greater visibility to incestuous rape, the importance of which was highlighted by Ms. Losada herself: 211 Cf. ASHWORTH, Andrew. Principles of Criminal Law (6a ed.). Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009, p. 7880. 212 The new law also modified the Appalling Crimes Law (Law 8,072/90) to include feminicide. 213 Brazilian Criminal Code, Art. 121, para. 2nd, section VI c/c art. 121, para. 2º-A, sections I and II. 214 Cf.
