Social relations on the land in the State of Tocantins accompanies the national scene and are full of conflict and violence . Are present in Tocantins , various social movements including the MST and the MAB , which brings a particular articulated by Via Campesina in Brazil - joint and coordinated actions throughout the state, occupying places representative to get the visibility and social state . These are actions that arose objectives of this thesis. By Via Campesina , MST and MAB , women within their movements initiated an action agenda against landlordism , poverty and social neglect , the invasions of the government and the consortium of energy and land reform . The particularity expressed , not only in unified agenda , but the guys who are making these actions and potential struggles - women farmers and rural workers of various social groups ( social movements , trade unions , NGOs , church, etc.) . Therefore , this research aims to understand the spatial distribution of the Women's Movement Field in Tocantins in their different positions and scales of action . For elaboration of the idea of a women's movement , we use the currents of thoughts that discuss space (Geography) , Gender (Feminist critics) and social movements , but we had more affinity with the scientific analysis poststructuralist and postcolonial , represented by various authors feminist or post colonies . Interviews were conducted , recorded the statements , results and considerations of meetings, demonstrations and prospects of women active in social movements , joints and at the March of Daisies , scaled it in for some considerations on how rural women in the state of Tocantins are to move .
As relações sociais sobre a terra no Estado do Tocantins acompanha o cenário nacional e estão cheias de conflitos e violências. Estão presentes no Tocantins, vários movimentos sociais entre eles o MST e o MAB, que traz uma particularidade articulada pela Via Campesina no Brasil – ações articuladas e conjuntas ao longo do estado, ocupando lugares representativos para obterem a visibilidade social e do Estado. São dessas ações que surgiram os objetivos dessa tese. Através da Via Campesina, MST e MAB, as mulheres no interior dos seus movimentos iniciaram uma agenda de ações contra o latifúndio, a miséria e o descaso social, as invasões do poder público e dos consórcios de energia e a favor da reforma agrária. A particularidade expressa, não está somente na agenda unificada, mas nos sujeitos que estão tornando essas ações e lutas possíveis – as mulheres camponesas e trabalhadoras rurais dos diversos segmentos sociais (movimentos sociais, sindicatos, ONGs, Igreja, etc.). Portanto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender a espacialização do Movimento de Mulheres do Campo no Tocantins em suas diferentes posições e escalas de ações. Para elaboração da ideia de um movimento de mulheres, recorremos as correntes de pensamentos que discutem o espaço (Geografia), gênero (Críticas feministas) e movimentos sociais, mas tivemos maior afinidade científica com as análises pós-estruturalistas e pós-coloniais, representadas por diversas/os autoras/es feministas ou pós-colôniais. Foram realizadas entrevistas, coletados depoimentos, resultados e considerações de reuniões, mobilizações e as perspectivas das mulheres atuantes nos movimentos sociais, nas articulações e na Marcha das Margaridas, isso nos dimensionou para algumas considerações sobre como as mulheres camponesas no Estado do Tocantins estão a se movimentar.

The modernization of agriculture around the 1970s, mainly in the state of Goias, reaches the big landowners. In this sense, farmers use several strategies to live and keep on the countryside. This terminology adopted for our work is characterized by rural production units, structured in family work, which are identified by the relationship between land, labor and family. Man has the provider function; “head of household”, while woman is reserved to the private and domestic sphere, and even performing activities on the production sphere , these are considered as “help”. It has constant been the adoption of different social and economic strategies by family rural production units, which has enabled women in contribution to the permanence of families in the countryside. The patriarchal culture, that is inserted both in the way of thinking of men and women, contributes to the view that the woman workplace is on the domestic sphere, linked to care with family and home, characterizing work in production as complementary. This research aims to understanding the main characteristics of family farming and analyze the woman participation in Ribeirao community in the Catalan municipality, (GO).Throughout the research were characterized men and women work. For qualitative analysis, were used data tabulations through forms with 18 farmers (the) family in field research. In addition, statistical and census data in (IBGE – Catalan Agency) Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and(SEGPLAN) Secretary of State for Management and Planning Goias, were important in intuition to meet the economic and social realities of the municipality. From the (SIAB) Primary Care Information System linked to Municipal Catalan Health we collect data and information related to the community being studied as population characteristics. This system is developed from the data or information (PACS) Community Health Agents Program. On the women's work consider that out is the space of the man who produces the food it out to the market. In addition to the gender hierarchy related to the spaces , the spaces related to work. For the sexual division of labor in agriculture shows that women occupy a subordinate position and their work is seen to help, even when they work as much as men and even performing the same activities.
A modernização da agricultura por volta da década de 1970, principalmente no estado de Goiás, atinge os grandes proprietários. Nesse sentido, os(as) pequenos(as) agricultores(as) utilizam várias estratégias para viverem e permanecerem no campo. Essa terminologia adotada para nosso trabalho se caracteriza pelas unidades de produção rural, estruturadas no trabalho familiar, que se identificam pela relação entre terra, trabalho e família. O homem tem a função de provedor; “chefe da família”, enquanto a mulher é reservada à esfera do privado; doméstico, e mesmo exercendo atividades na esfera produtiva, estas são consideradas como “ajuda”. Tem sido constante a adoção de diferentes estratégias sociais e econômicas pelas unidades de produção rural familiar, o que tem viabilizado as mulheres nas quais contribuem para a permanência das famílias no campo. A cultura patriarcal, que está inserida tanto no modo de pensar dos homens quanto das mulheres, contribui para a visão de que o lugar do trabalho da mulher é na esfera doméstica, ligado aos cuidados com a família e a casa, caracterizando o trabalho na produção como complementar. Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender as principais características da agricultura familiar e analisar a participação da mulher na comunidade Ribeirão, no município de Catalão (GO). Para a análise qualitativa, foram utilizadas tabulações de dados através de formulários com 18 agricultores(as) familiares em pesquisa de campo. Além disso, dados estatísticos e censitários no Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE - Agência Catalão) e na Secretaria de Estado de Gestão e Planejamento Goiás (SEGPLAN), foram importantes no intuito de se conhecer as realidades econômicas e sociais do município. A partir do Sistema de Informação de Atenção Básica (SIAB) vinculada a Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Catalão que obtemos dados e informações referentes à comunidade em estudo como as características da população. Esse sistema é elaborado a partir dos dados e informações do Programa de Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (PACS). Ao longo as pesquisa foram caracterizados o trabalho dos homens e o trabalho das mulheres. Sobre o trabalho feminino consideramos que fora é o espaço do homem, que produz os alimentos pra fora para o mercado. Além da hierarquização de gênero relacionado aos espaços, também os espaços relacionados ao trabalho. Pois, a divisão sexual do trabalho na agricultura nos mostra que as mulheres ocupam uma posição subordinada e seu trabalho é visto como ajuda, mesmo quando trabalham tanto quanto os homens e inclusive realizando as mesmas atividades.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The vast majority of new Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections in infants and young children occur through mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT), either during pregnancy, labour or delivery or by breastfeeding. Without access to perinatal MTCT (PMTCT) programmes approximately 30% of all babies born annually will be infected with HIV. OBJECTIVES The aim was to implement and audit a quality improvement cycle at the Worcester Obstetric Unit, which comprises of Worcester Hospital, a regional hospital in the Western Cape Province and its level one midwife obstetric Unit (MOU), in order to improve the quality of the PMTCT programme. The intervention included the implementation of easy changes and tools in the Antenatal Clinic, Infectious Diseases Clinic and Labour ward. METHODS The files and antenatal records of all HIV positive patients and patients with an unknown HIV status, who delivered at the Worcester Obstetric Unit during January, February and March of 2010 and 2011, were reviewed. All HIV negative patients and patients that had stillbirths and miscarriages were excluded. The pre-interventional findings of 2010 were compared with the post-interventional findings of 2011. RESULTS At the Worcester Obstetric Unit, for the study time period, there were 907 deliveries in 2010, of which 102 (11.2%) patients were HIV positive and 4 (0.4%) had an unknown HIV status compared to 2011, with 865 deliveries of which 108(12.5%) patients were HIV positive and no patients had an unknown HIV status. Significantly more patients were diagnosed with HIV before they fell pregnant than during pregnancy in the 2011 group, when compared with the 2010 group. A CD4 count was done on 94% of patients who were newly diagnosed with HIV and those with an unknown CD4 count result in the 2010 group, compared to 92% in 2011. There was a significant improvement after the intervention in the time it took from when blood was drawn for a CD4 count until the result was followed up, the median time decreased from 34 to 8 days (p=0.000001). Significantly more patients qualified for highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) after the guidelines were changed and the CD4 cut off was increased to 350 cells/l (p=0.001). Prior the intervention 18 patients did not receive the correct management before delivery due to preventable reasons, compared to one at the MOU. After the intervention this decreased significantly to only one patient at Worcester Hospital and none at the MOU (p=0.000001). Before the intervention adherence to the PMTCT protocol at the MOU was significantly better than at the hospital (p=0.0005) and after the intervention there was no significant difference (p=1.0). CONCLUSION Although the audit and quality improvement cycle was performed at a single hospital, with specific changes geared towards their needs, the basic principles can be applied to any Unit in the country providing a PMTCT service. Educating staff, creating awareness and reminding staff of the basic principles of PMTCT, implementing small changes and streamlining processes and setting specific goals or timelines, can lead to significant improvements in care, which ultimately will lead to a decrease in PMTCT of HIV and HIV related maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die oorgrote meerderheid (>90%) van nuwe Menslike Immuniteitsgebreksvirus (MIV) infeksies in babas en jong kinders vind plaas deur middel van moeder-na-kind-oordrag, hetsy gedurende swangerskap, die kraamproses of borsvoeding. Sonder toegang tot perinatale voorkomingsprogramme (PMTCT) sal ongeveer 30% van alle babas jaarliks met MIV geïnfekteer word. DOELWITTE Die doel van die studie was om ‘n gehalteverbeteringsiklus by die Worcester Verloskunde Eenheid, wat bestaan uit Worcester Hospitaal, 'n streekshospitaal in die Wes-Kaapprovinsie en sy vlak een vroedvrou verlossingseenheid (VVE), te implementer en daarna te oudit, om sodoende die gehalte van die PMTCT-program te verbeter. Die intervensie het bestaan uit die implementering van eenvoudige veranderinge en prosesse in die voorgeboortekliniek, infeksiesiekte-kliniek en kraamsaal. METODES Die lêers en voorgeboorte rekords van alle MIV-positiewe pasiënte en pasiënte met 'n onbekende MIV-status, wat gedurende Januarie, Februarie en Maart van 2010 en 2011 verlos het by die Worcester Verloskunde Eenheid, is nagegaan. Alle MIV-negatiewe pasiënte en pasiënte met doodgebore babas en miskrame is uitgesluit. Die pre-intervensie bevindings van 2010 is vergelyk met die post-intervensie bevindings van 2011. RESULTATE By die Worcester Verloskunde Eenheid was daar 907 geboortes gedurende die studietydperk in 2010, waarvan 102 (11,2%) pasiënte MIV-positief was en 4 (0,4%) met ‘n onbekende MIV-status. In 2011 was daar 865 geboortes waarvan 108 (12,5%) pasiënte MIV-positief was en geen met 'n onbekende MIV-status. In die 2011-groep is beduidend meer pasiënte gediagnoseer met MIV voor as tydens swangerskap. In die 2010-groep is daar 'n CD4-telling gedoen vir 94% van nuut gediagnoseerde pasiënte en diegene met 'n onbekende CD4-telling, in vergelyking met 92% in 2011. Daar was 'n beduidende verbetering na die intervensie in die tyd wat dit geneem het vandat bloed getrek is vir 'n CD4-telling totdat die resultaat opgevolg is. Die mediane tyd het verminder vanaf 34 na 8 dae (p = 0.000001). Nadat die riglyne vir kwalifisering vir hoogs aktiewe antiretrovirale terapie (HAART) verander is na ‘n CD4 telling 350 selle/l het daar beduidend meer pasiënte gekwalifiseer vir HAART. By Worcester Hospitaal het 18 pasiënte voor die intervensie nie die korrekte behandeling intrapartum ontvang nie weens voorkombare redes, in vergelyking met slegs een pasiënt by die VVE. Na die intervensie was daar ‘n beduidende afname na slegs een pasiënt by Worcester Hospitaal en geen by die MOU (p = 0.000001). Voor die intervensie was die korrekte uitvoering van die PMTCT-protokol by die MOU beduidend beter as by die hospitaal (p = 0,0005) en na die intervensie was daar geen beduidende verskil (p = 1.0). GEVOLGTREKKING Alhoewel die oudit en gehalteverbeteringsiklus uitgevoer is by 'n enkele hospitaal, met spesifieke veranderinge gerig tot hul behoeftes, kan die basiese beginsels toegepas word in enige eenheid in die land wat ‘n PMTCT diens verskaf. Opvoeding van personeel en bewusmaking rakende die basiese beginsels van PMTCT, klein veranderinge en die vaartbelyning van prosesse by die voorgeboorte klinieke en die stel van spesifieke doelwitte of tydlyne, kan lei tot aansienlike verbeteringe in pasiënte sorg. Dit sal uiteindelik lei tot 'n afname in die MIV oordrag van moeder na kind, asook MIV-verwante morbiditeit en mortaliteit in moeders en kinders.

Este estudo tem como objetivo verificar desigualdade de gênero nas tarefas acadêmicas dos docentes-pesquisadores da pós-graduação, assim como identificar mecanismos que contribuem para o estabelecimento e perpetuação dessas desigualdades A discussão teórica apresenta argumentos sobre diferenças de gênero na sociedade em geral, e na ciência em particular. A abordagem empírica selecionou como campo de estudo duas universidades federais: a UFRJ e a UFMA, visando também a identificação de diferenças regionais, através de análise quantitativa e qualitativa. Para a abordagem quantitativa foram utilizados dados secundários já trabalhados no estudo de Leta et al. (2013). Um sub-conjunto desses dados sobre as duas instituições foi gerado para este estudo que envolveu informações sobre o total de 2667 docentes-pesquisadores. A abordagem qualitativa envolveu entrevistas realizadas junto a 14 coordenadores da pós-graduação das universidades mencionadas. O roteiro de entrevista buscou conhecer diferenças de uma cultura de gênero nas escolhas profissionais, no exercício das tarefas acadêmicas, no estabelecimento de obstáculos na carreira científica, e na sobrecarga das atividades relacionadas à educação dos filhos. A análise dos dados quantitativos mostrou, entre outros aspectos, que os cursos da UFRJ têm desempenho superior aos da UFMA. Focalizando as desigualdades de gênero, verificou-se um maior equilíbrio entre homens e mulheres no desempenho das tarefas acadêmicas na UFMA do que na UFRJ. A análise das entrevistas mostrou que os docentes-pesquisadores, homens e mulheres, tendem a não ver diferenças de gênero na academia e que ambos os sexos carregam preconceitos em relação a diferenças de habilidades entre homens e mulheres. As falas dos entrevistados sugerem ainda que o peso do desequilíbrio de gênero no exercício das tarefas domésticas, e seu impacto nas atividades das mulheres se faz sentir, inclusive, no sentimento de culpa carregado pelas mulheres que chegaram ao topo da carreira científica. Sobre as diferenças regionais, os pesquisadores da UFMA demonstram sentir barreiras e dificuldades no exercício da atividade científica em região menos desenvolvida.
This study aims to examine gender inequality in academic tasks of graduate faculty, as well as identify mechanisms that contribute to the establishment and perpetuation of these inequalities. The theoretical discussion presents arguments about gender differences in society in general, and science in particular. The empirical approach selected as a field of study two federal universities: UFRJ and UFMA, aiming also to identify regional differences, through quantitative and qualitative analysis. For the quantitative approach we used secondary data already worked on during the study Leta et al. (2013). A subset of this data on the two institutions was generated for this study which involved information about a total of 2667 teachers-researchers. The qualitative approach involved interviews conducted with 14 graduate coordinators of the universities mentioned. The interview script aimed to detect differences in gender culture in career choices, in the exercise of academic tasks, in the establishment of obstacles in a scientific career, and in the overload of activities related to education of children. The analysis of the quantitative data showed, among other things, that the UFRJ courses have outperformed those of UFMA. Focusing on gender inequalities, there was a better balance between men and women in the performance of academic tasks in UFMA than at UFRJ. The analysis of the interviews showed that teachers-researchers, men and women, tend not to see gender differences in academia and that both sexes carry prejudices about the differences in skills between men and women. The statements of the respondents also suggest that the weight of the gender imbalance in the performance of household chores, and their impact on the activities of women is felt even in the sense of guilt carried by women who reached the top of the scientific career. Regarding regional differences, the researchers of UFMA are shown to feel barriers and difficulties in the exercise of scientific activity in a less developed region.

This academic job aims to discuss and reflect on the possible ways women and their various forms of survival in the city, we will focus particularly to the population of poor women free of the blinders and captive who lived on the outskirts of the city of Recife in the mid-first half of the nineteenth century (1830-1850). So in a society marked by setbacks of slavery, as well as the “hard” social hierarchy that values attributed to its individuals, places and roles, therefore, for this reason, it would be for women only “modestly” in the house with chores and care home. Moreover, regardless of their ethnicity and social position, obedience and submission were “religiously” to be its main attributes. However, not all women fit the standards set by the strong hegemonic discourse, in particular, women from less affluent classes of society of the time. This was a must to be pointed pejoratively by “rowdy”, “dishonorable” and “bad habits”, attributes that symbolized peace and an affront to public morality, especially for the city authorities. As a result their practices have attracted a strong supervision of representatives of state power (such as municipal inspectors, the police apparatus etc.). That they intended to act more forcefully in public space to better track and correct the “bad habits” of people in the city. In this way they tried to “manufacture” a “new” kind of guy that does not prevent social or put at risk the interests of the nation that wanted to build in under eight hundred pillars of the concepts of “order” and “progress”. Therefore, our discussion will permeate this contentious political and social landscape of the city of Recife and its relationship with the women in question.
Esse trabalho acadêmico visa discutir e refletir sobre as possíveis condições femininas e as suas variadas formas de sobrevivência na cidade, particularmente centraremos a nossa atenção ao universo das mulheres pobres livres, das forras e das cativas que viviam nos limites da cidade do Recife em meados da primeira metade do século XIX (1830-1850). Assim numa sociedade marcada pelos percalços da escravidão, bem como pela “rígida” hierarquia social que atribuía aos seus indivíduos valores, lugares e papéis sociais; logo, por esta razão, caberia às mulheres apenas o “recato” da casa e o cuidado com os afazeres domésticos. Ademais, independente de sua etnia, condição e posição social, a obediência e a submissão deveriam “religiosamente” ser os seus principais atributos. Contudo, nem todas as mulheres se enquadraram nos padrões estabelecidos pelo forte discurso hegemônico, em particular, as mulheres oriundas das classes menos abastadas da sociedade da época. Isso foi um imperativo para serem apontadas pejorativamente por “desordeiras”, “desonradas” e de “maus costumes”, atributos que simbolizavam uma afronta ao sossego e a moral pública, sobretudo, para as autoridades citadinas. Em resultado, as suas práticas atraíram uma forte vigilância dos representantes do poder do Estado (tais como, os fiscais municipais, os aparatos policiais etc.) que tencionavam atuar com mais vigor no espaço público para melhor controlar e corrigir os “maus hábitos” das pessoas na cidade. Dessa maneira se procurava “fabricar” um “novo” tipo de sujeito social que não impedisse ou colocasse em risco os interesses da nação que se queria edificar nos oitocentos sob os pilares dos conceitos de “ordem” e “progresso”. Portanto, a nossa discussão permeará este conflituoso cenário político-social da cidade do Recife e a sua relação com as mulheres em questão.

Full textO estudo pretende analisar as relações de gênero no meio rural e como a sua organização social e econômica tem auxiliado na transformação das relações de poder no espaço doméstico e público. A pesquisa utilizou a abordagem dos meios de vida e procurou identificar como essas estratégias influenciaram a transformação das relações sociais e econômicas de um grupo de mulheres no meio rural, bem como, utilizou-se da abordagem do feminismo descolonial para compreender suas formas de resistência. A construção da pesquisa ocorreu por meio de procedimentos qualitativos e quantitativos de análise, procurando apresentar um caráter interdisciplinar tanto na metodologia de coleta quanto na análise dos dados. O trabalho de campo consistiu na realização de um estudo de caso em uma associação de sete mulheres que compõe uma Agroindústria Familiar Rural em Pranchita-Pr, o estabelecimento apresenta como diferencial o fato de serem as sete mulheres responsáveis por todas as etapas do processo produtivo, envolvendo além da produção, o controle financeiro e as estratégias de comercialização da agroindústria. Dessa forma buscou-se identificar os gargalos, os meios e as alternativas encontradas pelas mulheres rurais, bem como, as redes de relações que o processo edificou em sua caminhada até aqui. Foi então possível perceber as diversas peculiaridades das estratégias de resistência adotadas pelas mulheres rurais e como são importantes para o empoderamento feminino e, ao mesmo tempo, garantidor das estratégias de reprodução social da agricultura familiar.
The study aims to analyze gender relations in rural areas and how their social and economic organization has helped in the transformation of power relations in domestic and public spaces. The research used the livelihoods approach and sought to identify how these strategies influenced the transformation of the social and economic relations of a group of women in rural areas, as well as using the approach of decolonial feminism to understand their forms of resistance. The construction of the research took place through qualitative and quantitative analysis procedures, seeking to present an interdisciplinary character both in the collection methodology and in the data analysis. The field work consisted in the realization of a case study in an association of seven women that composes a Rural Family Agroindustry in Pranchita-PR, the establishment presents as differential the fact that the seven women are responsible for all stages of the productive process, Involving besides the production, the financial control and the commercialization strategies of the agroindustry. In this way, we sought to identify the bottlenecks, the means and the alternatives found by the rural women, as well as the networks of relationships that the process built on their journey up to here. It was then possible to perceive the diverse peculiarities of the strategies of resistance adopted by rural women and how important they are to female empowerment and, at the same time, guarantor of the social reproduction strategies of family agriculture.

Full text"Caminho do Colono", an eighteen-kilometer road which cross the Iguassu National Park, between the cities of Serranópolis do Iguaçu and Capanema, in the West region of Paraná, became the scene of several conflicts in recent years. On one side, people who defend the permanence of the road closure, on the other side, the ones who agree with its reopening. These conflicts have generated several debates, clashes and discussion among environmental agencies, government representatives and locals, reflecting on environmental issues nationally discussed. In the way that the road crosses the Iguassu National Park, any matter or discussion about it, involves other areas of preservation. In 1997, ten years after the first road closure, locals, tired of waiting for judgments, organized themselves, occupied the road and started using it again. From this occupation, several clashes occurred, promoting a series of closures and reopenings which marked and still mark the history of the road and the population of the neighboring cities of the Park. Social people from different groups driven by multiple reasons participated in public actions. However, by searching for information related to "Movimento Pró-Reabertura do Caminho do Colono" (Motion for Reopening the "Caminho do Colono"), we notice that in both records made by press and works, the testimonials are predominantly male, thus setting the motion as of and made by men. The interviews we collect, unlike, point to another direction, they demonstrate that women participated in large numbers along the process of claim, in public and sometimes, direct actions, in clashes with police. Hence, the central concern of this study is to analyze the participation of women in "Movimento Pró-Reabertura do Caminho do Colono". How do women from the city and from the countryside, with different background and roles in society, understand the closure and public actions for the reopening of the road? How have they participated? How do they evaluate the constitution of their subjectivity from experiences of claim, specially the ones from camps along the "Caminho do Colono"?
O Caminho do Colono, percurso de dezoito quilômetros que corta o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, entre os municípios de Serranópolis do Iguaçu e Capanema, na região Oeste do Paraná, tornou-se, nos últimos anos, palco de diversos conflitos. De um lado, os que defendem a continuidade do fechamento da estrada e, de outro, os que se posicionam pela reabertura da mesma. Esses conflitos têm gerado diversos debates, enfrentamentos e discussões entre órgãos ambientalistas, representantes do governo e moradores da região, repercutindo em questões ambientais debatidas nacionalmente. Na medida em que a estrada corta o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu (PNI), qualquer questão ou decisão sobre ela envolve outras áreas de conservação. No ano de 1997, dez anos após o primeiro fechamento da estrada, moradores da região, cansados de esperar pela decisão judicial, organizaram-se, ocuparam o caminho e passaram a utilizá-lo novamente. A partir dessa ocupação, diversos enfrentamentos ocorreram, promovendo uma sucessão de fechamentos e reaberturas que marcaram e ainda marcam a história do percurso e da população dos municípios limítrofes ao PNI. Das ações coletivas participaram sujeitos sociais de diferentes grupos e movidos por uma multiplicidade de interesses. No entanto, ao buscar informações referentes ao denominado Movimento Pró-Reabertura do Caminho do Colono , observamos que, tanto nos registros feitos pela imprensa como em obras, os depoimentos predominantemente são de homens, configurando, assim, o referido movimento como de e feito por homens. As entrevistas por nós realizadas, ao contrário, apontam para outra direção, demonstram que as mulheres participaram durante todo o processo de reivindicação e em grande número, em ações coletiva e por vezes direta, como de enfretamento ao aparato policial. Dessa forma, a preocupação central deste trabalho é analisar a participação das mulheres no Movimento Pró-Reabertura do Caminho do Colono. Como mulheres do campo e da cidade, com diferentes trajetórias de vida e com inserções diversas nas relações sociais, interpretam o fechamento e as ações coletivas pela reabertura da estrada? Como participaram? Como avaliam a constituição de suas subjetividades a partir das experiências de reivindicação, especialmente as vividas nos tempos e espaços dos acampamentos organizados no trajeto designado como Caminho do Colono?

Violence maidservant's crimes more practiced against women they are it of light deceitful bodily harm (LCD) and he/she threatens whose trial up to 1995 was foreseen by the penal code of 1940. Starting from September 26 of this same year it was promulgated the Law 9.099/95 that started to lead the procedural rite. To present research it was accomplished with women of the Regional House-shelter of ABC, that were sheltered in the period from 2001 to 2004.

A violência contra mulheres consiste em um tema complexo e um fenômeno milenar existente em todas as culturas, classes sociais, raças/etnias e gerações, que visa a conservação da dominação-exploração das mulheres e o seu controle por parte dos homens. Os crimes de violência doméstica mais praticados contra mulheres são o de lesão corporal dolosa leve (LCD) e ameaça, cujo julgamento, até 1995, era previsto pelo Código Penal de 1940. A partir de 26 de setembro deste mesmo ano foi promulgada a Lei 9.099/95, que passou a conduzir o rito processual. A presente pesquisa foi realizada com mulheres da Casa-abrigo Regional do ABC, que estiveram abrigadas no período de 2001 a 2004. O objeto deste estudo refere-se às expectativas das mulheres em situação de risco de vida, em decorrência da violência doméstica, sobre a Justiça Criminal. Consistiram objetivos desta pesquisa: investigar as expectativas das mulheres usuárias da Casa-abrigo Regional do ABC, sobre o papel da Justiça na resolução de seus conflitos; investigar se a Justiça Criminal, por meio da lei 9.099/95, atendeu às necessidades das mulheres abrigadas; verificar se a conciliação proposta pela Lei 9.099/95 surtiu efeito para as abrigadas; avaliar se houve impactos da Casa-abrigo na vida das mulheres. As experiências das mulheres abrigadas e as entrevistas realizadas com estas, já desabrigadas, permitiram observar que a referida lei, bem como a sua implementação, não responderam às suas necessidades, sendo que elas, após passarem por audiência, permaneciam com a situação de risco inalterada, e seus maridos/companheiros, continuavam ameaçando-as. No que diz respeito à metodologia, esta pesquisa utilizou os conceitos de gênero e patriarcado, pois acreditamos que um deles, isoladamente, não dá conta da complexidade desta realidade. Tratou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, complementada com dados obtidos nas entrevistas com as ex-usuárias

Full textThe African continent has over the past 40 years witnessed a continued scourge of violent conflict and human rights abuses. These conflicts have significantly undermined the social, political, and economic prosperity of African citizens. Additionally, women and children are particularly affected by these conflicts. Women and children are regarded as ‘the most vulnerable’ as they often become the targets of sexual abuse by the enemy. The African Union (AU) is primarily responsible for the resolution of conflicts on the continent. It professes to be committed to the prevention of human rights abuses and the protection of African women (and children) during armed conflicts. It has thus developed an array of mechanisms, protocols, and instruments to address the exploitation and sexual abuse of women during conflict periods. These instruments include: The Constitutive Act of the AU (2000); The Solemn Declaration of Gender Equality in Africa (2003); the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa- ACHPRWA (2004); and the Protocol relating to the Peace and Security Council. In this research project, I consider whether the narratives used in these AU documents sufficiently and explicitly address the use of rape as a strategic weapon during armed conflicts; or whether these narratives inadvertently contribute to a culture that perpetuates war-time rape. My analysis shows that these AU documents deal with war-time rape in very vague and euphemistic terms. Although gender discrimination, sexual violence, exploitation, discrimination, and harmful practices against women are condemned, the delegitimization of rape as a weapon of war is not specifically discussed. This allows for varying interpretations of AU protocols, including interpretations which may diminish the severity of strategic rape. This has lead me to propose that the narratives used in these AU protocols and related documents draw on patriarchy, perpetuate patriarchy, and thus inadvertently perpetuates a culture that perpetuates the use of rape as a weapon of war
