description This text relates to the history of feminism concerning the period of military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985): the so called “years of lead”, the democratic transition, the return to democracy. It presents the trajectory of the feminist movement which, during that time, consolidates itself in the organizational, federal and political context. A movement which, with their own requirements, played a fundamental role in the process of democratization. It refers to the exchange of feminist experiences, including those with exiled Brazilians, which resulted in contacts with other emerging social movements: women from the poor neighborhoods, black and homosexual female. This orientation of the feminist movement defined its actions in two major areas, regarding the formulation of social policies and the expansion of the debate about democratization: reproductive health and violence against women. This led the movement towards the lower classes, those deprived of their rights to health programs and their rights to assistance against the harm caused by violence. This text lists the gains, not negligible, for both Brazilian women and the Brazilian democracy as the results of the resistance to the authoritarianism in the years of military dictatorship, of the international dialogues and dialogues with other social movements as well.

Este texto se refiere a la historia del feminismo en relación con los períodos de la dictadura militar (1964-1985): años de plomo, transición democrática, retorno a la democracia. Presenta la trayectoria del movimiento feminista, que en ese momento se consolidó a nivel organizativo, estatal y político y que, con sus propias reivindicaciones, representó uno de los principales actores del proceso de democratización. Se refiere a los intercambios de experiencias feministas, incluso con mujeres brasileñas en el exilio, que resultaron en contactos con otros movimientos sociales emergentes: mujeres de la periferia, negras y homosexuales. Esta dirección del movimiento feminista definió sus acciones en dos grandes áreas, relacionadas con la formulación de políticas sociales y la expansión del debate sobre la democratización: la salud reproductiva y la violencia contra la mujer, que condujo al movimiento hacia las clases populares, privadas de derechos de salud y de derechos de asistencia contra los daños de la violencia. Menciona conquistas relevantes para las mujeres y la democracia brasileña como resultado de la resistencia al autoritarismo de los años de la dictadura militar, de los diálogos internacionales y con otros movimientos sociales. Este texto reporta-se à história do feminismo no que concerne aos períodos da ditadura militar (1964-1985): anos de chumbo, transição democrática, retorno à democracia. Apresenta a trajetória do movimento feminista que nessa época se consolida tanto em âmbito organizacional, estatal, como político e que com suas reivindicações próprias representa um dos atores de peso no processo de democratização. Refere-se às trocas de experiências feministas, até mesmo com brasileiras exiladas, que resultaram em contatos com outros movimentos sociais emergentes: mulheres da periferia, negros e homossexuais. Esse direcionamento do movimento feminista definiu suas ações em duas grandes áreas, relacionadas à formulação de políticas sociais e ampliação do debate sobre a democratização: a saúde reprodutiva e a violência contra as mulheres, o que levou o movimento em direção às classes populares, desprovidas de direitos à saúde e de direitos à assistência contra os danos da violência. Nomeia ganhos não desprezíveis para as mulheres e a democracia brasileiras como resultado da resistência ao autoritarismo dos anos da ditadura militar, dos diálogos internacionais e com outros movimentos sociais. 2020-07-24 2022-03-18T18:33:45Z 2022-03-18T18:33:45Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/13979 10.52780/res.13979 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63383 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/13979/9355 Copyright (c) 2020 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 25 n. 48 (2020): Dossiê: Sociologia digital: tópicos e abordagens teórico-metodológicas da pesquisa social no século XXI 1982-4718 1414-0144
