The purpose of this research is to collect information regarding the situation of Guarani and Kaiowá women political leaders in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul who live in indigenous reserves located in the urban context, based on a qualitative descriptive study. The study sought to identify how these leaders are acting around the indigenous reserves, and what kind of violence they are suffering. As a result, it was verified that the Guarani and Kaiowá are deeply affected by their enormous loss of land and the conflicts generated over the years until the present day, in addition to the women being the most affected in this context. Thus, while Guarani and Kaiowá women suffer multifaceted violence, their female leaders remain exposed to specific contexts of violence, involving murder, intimidation, persecution, and threats due to territorial factors and disputes over land leases, in addition to religious intolerance and religious racism, through persecution because of exercising their spirituality within the community. That is, as verified in the study, a “human hunt”.
