THE INFLUENCE OF THE PATRIARCHY TOGETHER WOMEN OF TRADITIONAL COMMUNITIES IN BAIXADA CUIABANA-MT

Abstract

The NEDET (Center of Territorial Development of Baixada Cuiabana) of Unemat (University of the State of Mato Grosso) has worked with the women of the Territory. It has been contributing with the autonomy of women who live in rural areas so that they have income and more independence in the environment family. In this sense, we have held Women's Meetings of the Rural Territories and Citizenship of the State of Mato Grosso. Three events have already been organized, one as a parallel event to SEMIEDU (Education Seminar), together with  Federal University of Mato Grosso – UFMG research groups and the other two in the spaces of Traditional Peasant Communities. The objective of the respective events was to expose to the academic community and to the population, scientific-cultural productions produced within the framework of the Committees of Women of the Rural Associations. It is important to note that the creation and coordination of the Women's Committee takes into account the empowerment of women to act in the environment in which they live as independently as possible, especially if they stand up against gender-based violence, especially in the countryside, where means of protection are more difficult to reach. It is also a way of contributing with the knowledge about patriarchy, so that they can claim a place of equality next to the home; assume their decision space in the rural lot; decide on what to invest with the production money and on the living spaces of the rural community, places of well live.
