Uma abordagem socioeducacional sobre os desafios enfrentados por mulheres com deficiência no meio acadêmico e suas lutas por inclusão: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The struggle of women for space in the social sphere has always been intense; historical records demonstrate the difficulties they faced in more remote times and the gradual conquest of fundamental human rights in recent centuries. Given the current situation of women and their increasing inclusion in university environments, it is worth questioning: to what extent do universities offer the right to accessibility, permanence, and completion of higher education courses with regard to people with disabilities, with an emphasis on women? Thus, this work aimed to identify the current situation of women with disabilities in university environments, as well as to understand how Human Rights and inclusion are incorporated into universities, verifying the main challenges faced by women with disabilities in academia. This is a qualitative research based on a bibliographic review. After conducting searches in databases, it was possible to observe a certain lack of results, since the number of works found was limited. Thus, thirteen research projects were initially selected based on their titles; however, a detailed reading of the works was subsequently carried out, and only seven fit the objectives proposed by this research. Through the analyses, the persistence of accessibility barriers, the permanence of exclusionary practices, and other problems linked to economic, gender, and racial situations were noted.
