Movimentos sociais de mulheres e o direito ao lazer

Abstract

Based on the constitutional principle that highlights leisure among social rights and provides for equality between men and women, we propose a reflection on the presence (or not) of leisure on the political agenda of three social movements that defend women's rights. The purpose of this text was to understand if these social movements address the theme of leisure in their agendas and when that happens, what is the approach given to the social right to leisure. We analyzed the statutes, meeting reports, letters (of principles, of claim, of support, of repudiation), notes, electronic media, social networks and specific actions promoted by each of the three social movements of women. Among demands for health, education, work, spaces of power, security, reproductive rights, equality, respect, and so many others, there were few mentions of the right to leisure. We realized the importance of experiences that refer to leisure in the context of actions carried out by social movements. We identified that leisure experiences face different barriers to become an active desire to be claimed.
