This work analyzes the presence of women in the rural workers’ unions of the State of Pará. It
considers the unionization of the rural workers in the region, focusing on the change in its profile
over the past thirty years and highlighting the participation of women. The work is based on
historical documents and interviews with different actors who occupied positions in the union
movement at national, state and municipal levels. In total, fifteen interviews were conducted.
Through considerations of the concept of gender, questions are raised on the information which
could resolve the debates and opinions on the extent to which female involvement in union
management has changed union practices. The research indicates directions for further
consideration and the need for further studies. The deepening of the debate on gender within the
union movement and the adoption of instruments to stimulate and secure participation has
increased the number of women in the leadership of the union organizations of rural workers.
This effort has not been sufficient to bring female presence to the same level as male
participation, with women occupying positions of lower relevance in these organizations. The
difficulties experienced by these women and the occurrence of old discriminatory practices are
revealed. Finally, new proposals to be considered by the union organization of workers and rural
workers are presented. |
