As contribuições teóricas do feminismo latino-americano na luta para a igualdade de gênero no Brasil: um estudo de caso de três ongs feministas relevantes para o contexto nacional

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to analyze how the theoretical contributions of Latin American feminism stand out in relation to the feminist contribution of the global North, having as a scenario of analysis the context of the struggle for gender equality in Brazil, investigated by through the observation of the performance of Brazilian feminist Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) with greater relevance in the national context. Therefore, the following organizations were chosen as object of study: SempreViva Organização Feminista, characterized as the first feminist NGO created in Brazilian territory; SOS Corpo - Instituto Feminista para a Democracia, relevant for the present work because it is an organization created in the Brazilian Northeast and presents itself very socially active in the Latin American continent; and the organization Geledés - Instituto da Mulher Negra, the first Brazilian NGO created and directed by black women. Thus, in order to understand the influence of Latin American thought on Brazilian feminist militancy, the research will use an initial political-historical analysis, starting from the emergence of Latin American feminism from the movements of demand and female awareness in the global North, the in order to unveil the new experiences of political and social activism of feminism through the use of the intersection of race, class and gender as the main agenda, contributing to a better understanding of the origin of Latin American feminism as a theory and the concept of intersectionality. In view of this, the present study intends to contribute to the field of feminist scientific production within the area of knowledge of International Relations, which is considered a lately explored area in terms of gender, race and class, as mentioned by Nogueira; Messari (2005), using as a bibliographic reference the contributions of pioneering names on the subject, such as María Lugones, Lélia Gonzalez, Yuderkys Espinosa, Chandra Mohanty, Audre Lorde, among many other authors who have intense theoretical activity under the non-white feminist spectrum and decolonial, aspiring to give a multidimensional character to global feminism.
