O enfrentamento das opressões de gênero numa universidade pública: o papel dos coletivos na ótica do feminismo decolonial

Abstract

This paper discusses the role of students collectives in addressing gender oppression within the public university. This reflection occurs through decolonial feminism, which deconstructs oppressions by converging issues of gender, race, class, taking a non-Eurocentric point of view. The research approach is qualitative, characterized as descriptive and explanatory. Interviews were conducted between observation phases, followed by a comprehensive interpretation in the analyzes. The central role of the research was the knowledge of women about the performance of students collectives and confrontations such as: power and hierarchy in the classroom; the subordinate body; the guilt; the silencing; self-affirmation and self-oppression intersectively related. The students collectives are spaces of refuge, counseling and support for women, breaking with oppressive structures, but they are also contradictory spaces, which are not always able to represent and support the demands of women who seek him.
