As mulheres na luta pela terra e na terra no Assentamento Mosquito, município de Goiás/GO – 1986/2022

Abstract

This research intends to observe and analyze the struggle for and on the land of women in the Mosquito settlement, in the municipality of Goiás-GO, from 1986 to 2022. It also sought to analyze the process and the gender relationship between men and women. In this process of collective struggle, women trace routes that define their place in society, making them agents who change their own histories, conquering through struggle and organizations, freedom, rights to participate directly in social, cultural, political, and economic issues in society. The procedures employed in this research were bibliographical and documental research, field activities, and interviews. In its development, analytical categories were discussed such as: gender relations, feminism, struggle for land, peasant women's movement and protagonism. The results reveal that through their protagonism they rewrite their stories, thus breaking away from the shackles of the macho culture that previously defined their places in society. The final considerations reveal to us that this movement must be understood as a current and necessary movement for women to achieve the fullness of their freedom and rights.
