EEstratégias de resistência e subsistência de mulheres do Assentamento Olga Benário em Natal/RN

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of gender inequalities based on the socioeconomic conditions of women in the Olga Benário settlement, in Natal/RN. The course completion work intends to explain about the daily life and work of these women, as they are in a vulnerable situation and have precarious work. This social exclusion entails the various faces of the social issue in contemporary times. The expressions of the social issue have the capitalist mode of production as a backdrop, which increases social inequality and exposes the largest portion of the population to exclusion from public policies and lack of access to basic and fundamental rights, which leads to the distinction of two social classes. The settlers fight for minimum conditions of food security and housing, although their struggle includes other policies such as the right to health, education, transportation, that is, the right to the city.
