O dialogo entre a mulher e o direito à cidade

Abstract

The main purpose of this dissertation is to identify the dialogue between women and the right to the city, in Salvador. First, we describe the territory of study, in this case, the city of Salvador. Afterwards, the academic work revisits the general concepts of law related to the right to the city and then goes deeper into the very concept of the right to the city, based on the teachings of Lefebvre (2008), Harvey (2010), among others. The research methodology includes interviews with qualitative approaches, with unstructured form and with open questions, for 10 (ten) cissexual women, representatives of several spheres of power constituted in the city. The criteria of choice were: a) to live in Salvador, b) to represent a form of power constituted in the city, and, finally, c) to have dominion over the theme of right to the city. In the interviews, the following themes were addressed: a) the concept of the right to the city; b) the woman and the public space; c) women and urban violence; d) the city and female empowerment; and, at the end, e) the city and the sorority. In conclusion, the main results were presented.
