Resumo
In the last decades in the Brazilian rural areas, the agrobusiness imposed itself making stronger the
large properties (estates), the transnational companies and intensifying the use of agrotoxics and
the production of monoculture for exportation, instead of producing health food via the peasant
agriculture. This model threats the peasants, especially the women that need to work inside and
outside their houses because their families need care and food - while the men are used to search
for income just outside. The low incomes that the peasant agriculture is getting during the last
decades make impossible to the families to invest in technologies and habitation towards better life
conditions. The federal government published, in 2009, the Programa Nacional de Habitação Rural
(PNHR) - Rural Habitation National Program – intending to reduce the social deficit in rural
habitations, but before this, in 2008, the Movimento Camponês Popular (MCP) – Popular Peasant
Movement – had already accomplished a important project of rural habitation in the state of Goiás
– Brazil, using other program that was, at first, oriented to urban areas. This research intends to
comprehend the transformations that had occurred in the lives of the peasant women during the
processes of overcoming the frontiers of the private spaces of their houses and gaining class
consciousness since the moment the women started to engage in political participation and political
organization in the Movimento Camponês Popular – Popular Peasant Movement – to struggle for a
peasant habitation. The engagement of the women in the social movement achieved - more than the
conquest of the habitation - a change in their social behavior, because the recognition of the active role of women as actors of social transformation is historically denied and this denial tends to
exclude them towards a social and political invisibility. The political participation of the women in
the social movement enable the visibility of their demands, defeating their isolation by going
beyond the private spaces of their lives when they occupy the public spaces of the meetings, the
struggles and the political decisions reunions of a social movement.
