Mulheres egressas do sistema prisional: qual a influência de projetos de apoio em seus cotidianos?

Abstract

Brazil's prison population is the third largest in the world and we need to pay attention to this specific population, as well as to those who have come out of this system, given the stigmas, segregation and disruption of daily life that permeate their lives. In this regard, the gender aspect is fundamental, because this context is not seen as common to women, who are faced with an even more stigmatizing scenario than they already experience. That said, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that deal specifically with this group have shown themselves to be an important supporter, given the potential for networked care and support in coping. The aim of this project is to assess and identify what types of support have an impact on the process of social reintegration of women who have left the prison system, based on the narratives of women who visit the NGO Casa Flores. The qualitative research was made in three stages: document analysis, semi-structured interviews with women who have left the prison system and are linked to Casa Flores, and a group meeting to apply the visual body map methodology. This research aims to contribute to the discussion from an intersectional perspective on the subject and the importance of a specific care program for women going through this experience. Bonding and specialized care, in the direction of covering different dimensions of life, proved to be essential in the process of transforming the daily lives of these women. We therefore intend to make an assertive contribution to consolidating these practices with the female population, bearing in mind all the subjectivities that permeate their daily lives, especially after the experience of being deprived of their liberty.
