Trajetórias de luta: período ditatorial e a participação de mulheres em resistência e luta por direitos na região Alto Uruguai- RS

Abstract

The present work consists of the historical reconstruction of the trajectory of women who participated in movements and organizations in the Alto Uruguay region in the state of Rio Grande do Sul during the dictatorial period. These movements emerged in the 70s and 80s as a form of resistance to the military regime and in the struggle for rights. The objective was to reconstruct the period of the civil-military dictatorship, and in the process, to emphasize the participation of women. Using oral sources, based on interviews, we built narratives with women from the northern region of RS, who somehow contributed to the process of redemocratization of the country and the organization of workers, as well as in the struggle and conquest of rights. Among the movements mentioned in the work are the Movement of Rural Women Workers (MMTR), Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) as well as Unions and organizations of the Catholic Church (Pastorals).
