The present article takes the following question as its starting point: What does it mean to think about eviction and its consequences based on the narratives of women who have faced these processes? By examining the narratives and thoughts of women who have either undergone eviction or are living under its threat, it is possible to highlight dimensions of the process that may otherwise go unnoticed by analyses that focus on other dimensions, and which do not appraise the characteristics of those being evicted and what this represents in terms of the totality of the phenomenon. By shedding light on the multiplicity of impacts resulting from the eviction processes, it is possible to return to the conceptual notion itself, so that it may be formulated from the bottom up, i.e., from the various experiences that comprise it. Ultimately, what is eviction? What does it mean to live under the threat of losing your home?

O presente artigo parte da seguinte questão: o que significa pensar a remoção e suas consequências com base na narrativa de mulheres que enfrentam esses processos? Ao recuperar as narrativas e as reflexões de mulheres que sofreram remoção ou se encontram em situação de ameaça, é possível iluminar dimensões do processo que podem passar despercebidas ou ser encobertas por análises cujo enfoque recai sobre outras dimensões, que não passam por uma reflexão sobre as características de quem está sendo removido, e sobre o significado disso diante da totalidade do fenômeno. Ao lançar luz sobre a multiplicidade dos impactos decorrentes dos processos de remoção, pode-se retomar a própria noção conceitual para, então, formulá-la desde baixo, quer dizer, a partir das várias experiências que a compõem. Afinal, o que é remoção? O que significa viver sob a ameaça de perder o lugar onde se vive?
