Rita Laura Segato (born 14 August 1951) is an Argentine-Brazilian academic, who has been called "one of Latin America's most celebrated feminist anthropologists"[1] and "one of the most lucid feminist thinkers of this era".[2]

Segato was born in Buenos Aires and educated at the Instituto Interamericano de Etnomusicología y Folklore de Caracas.[3] She has an MA and a PhD in Anthropology (1984) from Queens University, Belfast. She teaches Anthropology at the University of Brasilia, where she holds the UNESCO Chair of Anthropology and Bioethics;[4] since 2011 she has taught on the Postgraduate Programme of Bioethics and Human Rights.[1] She additionally carries out research on behalf of Brazil's National Council for Scientific and Technological Development. One of her specialist areas is the study of gender violence.[2]

In 2016, along with Prudencio García Martínez, Segato was an expert witness in the Sepur Zarco case,[5] in which senior officers at a military base in Guatemala were convicted of crimes against humanity as a result of the holding of fourteen women in sexual and domestic slavery. The defence tried to challenge the expertise of the witnesses, but their appeal was unsuccessful.[6]
