Proteção social para mulheres venezuelanas em solo brasileiro : acolhimento e/ou racismo?

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the reality of Venezuelan migrant and/or refugee women who use Basic Social Protection and social assistance network services, both in the public sphere and in NGOs, located in Porto Alegre - RS and Metropolitan Region, in the period from 2018 to 2021, with a view to contributing to the expansion and qualification of these services as public policies. The problem is consistent with the following question: how is the reality of Venezuelan refugee women configured when they access basic social protection and the social assistance network? As a methodology, the critical dialectical method is used, which, through the understanding of reality, through the categories of totality, historicity and contradiction, aims to transform reality. Furthermore, the theoretical-methodological device of Critical Discourse Analysis is used. Thus, the empirical analysis results from the application of interviews with two different types of semi-structured interview scripts: one for Venezuelan migrant and/or refugee women, and the other for assistants who work at a CRAS and at an NGO. As for the results, it is highlighted that the reality of Venezuelan women is impacted by ideologies, especially racist and neoliberal. With regard to the social protection services that these women are able to access, it is possible to mention that the third sector is minimally covering the particularities and needs of Venezuelan women, while the public service is overloaded and precarious.
