Relações de trabalho e gênero de mulheres em empreendimentos solidários no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19

Abstract

This article sought to investigate the working conditions and family relationships of women involved in the solidarity economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with seven producers living in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The results allow us to raise the hypothesis that these women had their family and work relationships significantly changed during the period of social distancing, with a reduction in their income and an overload of domestic and care tasks. Despite the perception of advances in gender relations within the solidarity economy movement, such awareness does not necessarily change relationships within homes, which became even more evident during social distancing.
