Abstract(s)
Esta dissertação analisa a participação política das mulheres, tomando como caso de estudo a
autarquia de Maputo, em Moçambique. Tem como objetivo geral contribuir para o
conhecimento e compreensão das práticas e dinâmicas que caracterizam a participação ativa
das mulheres nos processos de tomada de decisão, com particular atenção aos obstáculos que
dificultam a sua participação em órgãos de poder local.
A pesquisa orientou-se por duas questões de partida. Primeiro, em que medida participam as
mulheres em fóruns de tomada de decisão na autarquia de Maputo? Segundo, quais os fatores
que influenciam a participação das mulheres nesses fóruns? Baseou-se em análise documental
(dados secundários) e em entrevistas realizadas com deputados/as à Assembleia Municipal de
Maputo (dados primários), a fim de examinar não só o enquadramento institucional mas
também as experiências e perspetivas de mulheres e homens com atividade política.
Identificamos fatores culturais, institucionais e socioeconómicos que dificultam a igualdade de
género na participação política, com ênfase nas múltiplas desvantagens que continuam a
penalizar as mulheres. Destacamos, em particular, a importância dos papéis de género, da
educação e da sobrecarga de responsabilidades domésticas e familiares. A pesquisa demonstra
também o papel fundamental que as organizações de mulheres têm desempenhado na redução
da desigualdade. Enquanto as organizações de mulheres existentes dentro dos partidos políticos
asseguram a seleção de mulheres para as listas de candidatos/as, as organizações de mulheres
externas aos partidos desenvolvem um espírito crítico e um trabalho de terreno imprescindível
para a progressiva consciencialização e emancipação das mulheres.
This dissertation analyses the political participation of women, studying the case of the municipality of Maputo, in Mozambique. It aims to further the knowledge and understanding of the practices and dynamics that characterize the active participation of women in decisionmaking processes, with particular attention to the obstacles hindering their participation in local governance. The research is guided by two main questions. First, to what extent do women participate in decision-making bodies in the municipality of Maputo? Second, which factors influence the participation of women in those bodies? It is based on the analysis of documental evidence (secondary data) and interviews with members of the Municipal Assembly of Maputo (primary data), in order to examine not only the institutional framework but also the experiences and perspectives of women and men with political activity. We identify cultural, institutional and socioeconomic factors hindering gender equality in political participation, with an emphasis on the multiple disadvantages that still penalize women. We highlight the importance of gender roles, education and the overload of domestic and family responsibilities. Our research also demonstrates the key role played by women’s organizations in the reduction of inequality. While women’s organizations inside the political parties ensure the selection of women for the lists of candidates, women’s organizations outside the parties develop critical thinking and groundwork that is indispensable to gradually promote the awareness and emancipation of women
