As histórias não contadas dos movimentos feministas: em marcha com o Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas

Abstract

This work aims to show the history and struggle of the Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas (MMC), how this movement has resisted existing since its beginning. To this end, we make a brief critical analysis of the feminist movement, in a process of deconstructing the waves that are based on a eurocentric perspective on the history of women's struggles, leaving black and indigenous women out. Thus, we construct, deconstruct and reconstruct the history of feminisms, including the history of black women who were silenced and erased from history. We bring black women into history. We also address the gender agenda in Brazil and how the NGOization of the movement caused certain cracks in the feminist movement in Brazil. And finally, we address the emergence of the Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas, how this was a necessary space for the inclusion of women from the fields, waters and forests. To carry out this work we used bibliographic and documentary research, within a historical-critical perspective. In the conclusions we can see how the struggle of black women and peasant women has always been based on a political project of human emancipation. And despite the attacks on their hard-won rights, under neoliberal governments, they continue to fight for social, political, economic and cultural rights. They also fight tirelessly for the right to a dignified life with access to land to plant crops.
