Dimensões do empoderamento feminino no Brasil: índices e caracterização por atributos locacionais e individuais e participação no Programa Bolsa Família

Abstract

A superação de desigualdades de gênero em uma sociedade com fortes bases patriarcais, como a brasileira, tem como um de seus elementos centrais o empoderamento feminino. Diante da sua importância para a transformação do papel social da mulher, é fundamental que se discutam ações de promoção, fortalecimento e mensuração. Para subsidiar tal debate, vem ganhando destaque na literatura a construção de índices sintéticos de empoderamento, o que ainda é pouco explorado no Brasil. Este estudo contribui para o preenchimento desta lacuna. Utilizando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde da Criança e da Mulher de 2006, os objetivos foram: propor e calcular dois índices sintéticos de empoderamento feminino, que refletem dimensões econômicas, domésticas e psicológicas; e, com estes índices, caracterizar a situação no Brasil segundo atributos locacionais e individuais e participação no Programa Bolsa Família (PBF). As evidências sugerem um caráter multidimensional do empoderamento, a importância do trabalho e de outros atributos individuais e locacionais e possíveis efeitos do PBF em dimensões econômicas e domésticas do empoderamento de suas beneficiárias.

Gender Empowerment: Interface With Geographic Space and Sustainability

“…Figure 3 points out gender inequality in terms of salary equality which is failing to fulfill the SDG5.5 and 5.c targets (ONU, 2021;TCU, 2019) indicating the perpetuation of gender inequality, which shows how important it is to combat sexism in Brazilian society (PRADO, 2021;COUTO;SAIANI, 2021).…”

“We are capable and we must not be silent!”: the science-theatre interface as a catalyst for female empowerment

“…Freire believed it was not possible to provide any tools for subaltern groups to be empowered, but rather that those groups should empower themselves, through a combination of critical awareness of their reality and transformative action. In this way, external phenomena -such as a public policy aimed at female empowerment [Couto & Saiani, 2021], support and strengthening programmes or a theatre play on the subject -do not, by themselves, generate empowerment, but can act as catalysts for this process.…”

Profile and Training on Gender Identity Among Health Professionals in the Caeté Region in the Eastern Amazon

“…1* Refers to a human or social group that is in a situation of inferiority or subordination in relation to the other, which is considered the majority or dominant group due to various factors, such as socioeconomic, legislative, psychic, age-related, physical, linguistic, gender-related, ethnic or religious (50). 2 ** This is the multidimensional process of transformation of the social role of women, from subordinate to the opposite sex to an active agent, capable and with individual and collective decision-making power (51) With the biomedical positions aligning with the process of transgender visibility and playing an active role in the process of sexual reassignment, the understanding and the need to separate sexual identities into categories has become prominent; for example, not confusing homosexuality with transsexuality and/or transvestility, but rather, focusing on its characteristics, and whether or not the sex assigned at birth should be accepted (6). This historical context demarcates not only the urgent need to overcome the pathological/prejudiced view of transgender subjects who belong to the LGBT+ community, but the need for multi-professional healthcare, and professionals who have a knowledge and understanding of the socio-historical and cultural factors involved, to intervene in their process of transition and sexual reassignment, for example (3,4).…”
