Mulheres trabalhadoras em situação de vulnerabilidade social.

Abstract

This study presents intervention research that aimed to understand the reality of working women, housewives, who are in the vast majority responsible for supporting the family, but live in a subjugated and socially vulnerable place, as well as raising awareness of companies to support these women in the period off-season. The research of the qualitative method was carried out from a study exploratory, descriptive observational. For data collection, a physical copy questionnaire was made available to 100 working women chosen at random. Among these, 10 were invited to participate in a focus group and monthly meetings with the researcher. The work resulted in a technical product that emerged during the intervention process with the participants: “Mulheres Girassol” (Sunflower women), a documentary composed of reports by the women in this study. Based on the reports of the research participants, it was found that the violence suffered is commonplace, especially when the partner and/or children drink alcohol. In addition, it was observed that they do not interpret verbal, physical, or psychological aggression as part of an abusive relationship. The documentary produced was shared at all the company's headquarters where the study was developed, with customers and suppliers, providing effective dissemination. This led to the product being requested by other multinational groups, and partners of the company, to include in training platforms. The company has implemented a social responsibility program called “Mulheres Girassol” based on this study.
