A produção social do espaço urbano e o direito à moradia das mulheres: uma análise interseccional das relações sociais de gênero, raça e classe na cidade do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The access to housing is a fundamental element for the reproduction of life, however, it is marked by a long history of denial, inequality and violations of this human and social right, having a different impact on the daily life of the Brazilian population. The dissertation delimits the intersectional analysis of the right to housing as its object and investigates and problematizes it based on three movements: 1) the intersectional problematization in the social production of the urban space and within the regulatory frameworks of the right to housing and housing policy; 2) consideration of the field of struggle for the right to housing; from the contribution of feminist thought and women's social struggles; 3) the analysis of the process of formation of the urban issue of housing and of the multiple inequalities and oppressions of gender, race and class that affect the forms of access to the right to housing with dignity and, consequently, the (re) production of the daily life of women in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The dissertation's investigative procedures were methodologically structured through bibliographic analysis, analysis of documentary sources and social indicators disaggregated by gender and color or race, based on census data prepared by IBGE / 2010, choosing as variables: 1) demographic characteristics; 2) sexual and racial division of labor; 3) housing, infrastructure and environmental sanitation. The research concludes that: the social history of the right to housing, by incorporating contributions from the intersectional analytical perspective of race, class and gender relations, increases the ability to problematize urban inequalities; the housing policy, in Brazil, and in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, as well as some regulatory frameworks of the Urban Policy studied, are still insipient regarding the incorporation of gender and race mediations, privileging the income record; and that the long and still persistent process of producing social housing in an unequal and segregated manner in the city of Rio de Janeiro implies conditions of precariousness in the ways of living of women, notably black women.
