É pegar ou largar : a luta de mulheres trabalhadoras na Ilha do Governador pelo direito à creche

Abstract

The intentions of this research is to investigate the struggle of working mothers for the right to nursery school in Rio de Janeiro s municipality. This struggle has constituted an important articulation from the civil society, ensuring in LDB 9394/96 and in the Federal Constitution of 1988 the right to nursery school has modified the way in which the care units to early childhood were seen all over the country. In this sense, the study in point, from the qualitative type, sought to adopt the theoretical-methodological of qualitative studies, deepening through documentary reading and interviews, the look on Arca de Noé s nursery school, a convened community nursery school, located in Guarabú, Ilha do Governador, in Rio de Janeiro s municipality. From the temporal and documental point of view, the present research seeks to investigate the creation s context of Arca de Noé s convened community nursery school in 1984, when started the activities with the children in this education equipment. From the political engagement of subjects involved in the process I seek to investigate Arca de Noé s trajectory, researching the role that nursery school fulfills by working mothers themselves, having as parameter the recognition of their social rights and achievements. From the theoretical standpoint, the foundation of my studies is anchored in Paulo Freire s thought, by relating the struggle for nursery school to wider processes of political and social awareness; as well as other authors who approach the feminism issue for emancipation, the Social Movements and the struggle for nursery school as a gender policy.
