The recognition of the work developed by women in the productive backyards of the Giral community, in the municipality of Caém - BA

Abstract

This work sought to know the meanings produced by the women of the Giral Community, in the Municipality of Caém - Bahia, on the productive backyards, and the effects of the work of these women in these production spaces, from five voices of the community. To achieve this central objective, qualitative field research was used, with the application of semi-structured interviews with these women. The female journey of taking care of the house and the yard has become so common that a portion of rural women believe that the role performed is just a help, and do not recognize themselves as farmers and rural workers, protagonists of their history. The productive backyards, for the most part, are the exclusive responsibility of women, who contribute significantly to the quality of life of families. With this research, it was noticed that the appreciation of the workforce provides the visibility and deserved recognition, therefore, it is necessary to highlight the importance and seek recognition of the work performed by women in the practice of the productive backyard.
