| dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims to analyze the contemporary feminist activism in Cascavel/PR based on the trajectory of women activists. Besides that, it aims to analyze how these women are articulating their actions to the public policies for women, considering the activisms that took place inside and outside the state, looking at the diversity of feminism in an intersectional analysis of gender, race, and class. The analysis will focus on the following aspects: (1) to identify women's movements and feminist activism in Cascavel/PR based on the trajectories of four women activists; (2) to verify the forms of integration between feminist activism and public policy actions for women; (3) to present how these activists practices take place in the discursive field of action and participation. The field research was conducted from October 2016 to January 2018, and it was based on semi-structured interviews about the trajectories of activism. | |
