Full textThe impact of globalization processes on women, such as the new economic division of labour and relocation of global production into Third World countries, is a frequently debated topic within the globalization and gender discourse. The opportunities for formal work for young women in export-processing industries and they have been able to earn an income and to contribute economically to the survival of their poor families are the main positive impacts of globalization. Further, they are able to experience economic and social independence and increased status within their families. Unfortunately, factory jobs do not only have the positive effect of enabling the women to enjoy the benefits. Research has also identified the negative socio-cultural and health impacts on women resulting from their employment in export-processing industrial work.
This thesis explores Sri Lankan female workers’ experiences of health relating to the work they do at EPZ factories and their gender roles, sense of place, self-identities, capabilities and empowerment. The principle objective of this thesis is to provide an indepth view of female export-processing workers’ experiences of health in Sri Lanka by using feminist research methodology. Sri Lanka entered into the globalization process through its adoption of economic liberalization policies in 1977. The country’s exportprocessing industries provide employment for c.400,000 people, of whom 80% are women. Fieldwork was conducted in the country’s largest export-processing zone located in Katunayake during the periods of January to May in 2002 and June to August in 2004. The study is primarily carried out using a qualitative approach. In-depth interviews with 25 female workers were conducted and women’s life histories and personal narratives were gathered. Further, key informant interviews with representatives from different stakeholders were conducted to identify their views of female export-processing workers’ health status. Furthermore, participant and non-participant observations and a questionnaire survey were carried to supplement the information gained through interviews.
The women identified Katunayake export-processing zone (KEPZ) area as an unhealthy place due to their experiences of health problems and various forms of harassment. Their narratives inform about five types of health problems, namely occupational health problems, mental health problems, reproductive related health problems, weight loss and malnutrition, and infectious diseases. The results of the research have made it possible to identify diversities among the female export-processing workers in terms of their experiences and perspectives of health, self-identities and coping strategies. There is also evidence that women who have fewer responsibilities with regard to their families in their home villages, increased status within the families, and who participate in organizational activities have a positive sense of places regarding home and the KEPZ area and also have positive self-identities. In particular, there is clear diversity between the women who participate and those who do not participate in nongovernmental organizational activities, in terms of their capabilities and empowerment relating to improving their health. Active participants’ choices and actions at different places demonstrate that they achieved individual, collective and organizational empowerment. Further, the women’s stories reveal that they have achieved several practical and strategic gender needs for promoting their health and well-being.
Institutions at local and national levels also play significant roles in women’s empowerment and capability building. The results of the study identify that many institutional strategies constrain women’s empowerment and capabilities by not providing the necessary information, knowledge, instruments, and social support that the women need, and subsequently the women are unable to live to their full potential.
The research concludes that female export-processing workers in Sri Lanka experience both positive and negative aspects of globalization. They have gained incomes for living independent lives while at the same time being helping their poor families. Some have even taken the initiative to secure their lives through improving their possibilities for self-employment. Meanwhile, they are exposed to various forms of health problems and harassment as a result of being EPZ workers. The successful stories of empowered women indicate that female EPZ workers have the ability to achieve better health status and to live successful lives as women with respect and dignity, but they need support from the socio-cultural, economic, legal, and political institutions in the Sri Lankan society to attain their goals.

Full textThis paper proposes a study on youth nesting Pedro Casaldaliga, located in the city of Cajamar near the city of Sao Paulo, and belongs to the Greater São Paulo Regional of MST. The text is divided into four chapters. The first presents the project history and historical context of the emergence of a rural settlement near the metropolitan region of Sao Paulo with the participation of people from urban areas. The second brings the narratives produced from interviews conducted in cooperation with six young people from the settlement under the theoretical and methodological precepts of Oral History. Finally, we sought to develop the analysis and conclusion based on the experiences of these young people, expressed in the narratives of their life histories, suggesting some of the benefits and obstacles to their permanence in this conquered area.

THIS THESIS EXAMINES the social experiences in the struggle for agrarian reform settlers of the Settlement Project (PA) Emiliano Zapata, located in Uberlândia and created in 2004, and Settlement Project 21st April, in the city of Veríssimo and created in 2005, both in the Triângulo Mineiro region. During the process of major transformation of social relations in the Brazilian countryside in recent decades, particularly in the Triângulo Mineiro, focusing on research with oral history and interpreting a set of statements from workers of these Settlement Projects, it discusses paths, ways and meanings of their struggles for maintaining their own plots of land after the conquest. In the relationship between history and memory, it addresses issues concerning the daily challenges of living and nesting in this new territory and how these settlers organize themselves by means of values and customs acquired in previous struggles. It examines the continuity of the fight after the conquest of the land and how the rural workers give meaning to this fight revealing current perspectives and projected future as settlers. It also problematizes their practices and views on public policies for the settlers and discusses the changes of such policies in recent decades amid the transformations on the role and the importance of smallholder agriculture. The study is organized into four chapters that discusses the following topics: social and political education of both groups of settlers and of the Settlement Projects; the experiences of workers in the conquered land and their organization and practices on their daily lives; the expectations of workers regarding projects related to rural life in the pursuit of autonomy and freedom; and finally, actions and struggles of settlers to maintain the right to live on/from the land by means of being able to have access to public funding and investment policies in the agrarian reform
ESTA TESE ANALISA AS experiências sociais na luta pela reforma agrária de assentados(as) do Projeto de Assentamento (PA) Emiliano Zapata, localizado no município de Uberlândia e criado em 2004, e do PA 21 de Abril, localizado no município de Veríssimo e criado em 2005, ambos na região do Triângulo Mineiro. Em meio ao processo de grandes transformações das relações sociais no campo brasileiro nas últimas décadas, em especial no Triângulo Mineiro, privilegiando a pesquisa com a história oral e interpretando um conjunto de depoimentos de trabalhadores(as) desses PAs, problematiza caminhos, modos e sentidos de suas lutas pela manutenção de seus lotes após a conquista da terra. Na relação entre história e memória, aborda questões relativas aos desafios cotidianos de viver no e do assentamento e como nesse novo território os trabalhadores assentados se organizam por meio de valores e costumes adquiridos nas experiências das lutas anteriores. Analisa a continuidade da luta após a conquista da terra e como os trabalhadores significam essa luta revelando perspectivas do presente e projeção de futuro como assentados. Problematiza também suas práticas e concepções diante das políticas públicas destinadas aos produtores assentados e discute as mudanças de tais políticas em décadas recentes em meio às transformações sobre o papel e a importância da pequena agricultura. O estudo está organizado em quatro capítulos que discutem os seguintes temas: a formação social e política dos dois grupos de assentados e dos PAs; as experiências dos trabalhadores na terra conquistada e seus modos de organização e práticas no cotidiano; as expectativas dos trabalhadores no que se refere aos projetos ligados à vida rural na busca de autonomia e liberdade; por fim, as ações e lutas dos trabalhadores assentados para manterem o direito de viver no/do campo por meio do acesso às políticas públicas de financiamento e investimento na reforma agrária
