| Resumo: | The present work sought to understand how women users of a Social Assistance Reference
Center experience solo motherhood. The study focused on single-parent families that, in the
present work, are associated with the term single mother, given that this woman is the only
responsible for parental roles, as well as for the home and maintenance of the family nucleus.
It is important to highlight that they are families composed primarily of women, which can be
explained from the social gender roles, which are delineated by the patriarchal heritage and
the sexual division of labor in intersection with other social markers such as race and class,
and that historically imposed the central role of women in household chores and child care.
Considering this scenario, the general objective of this study was to understand the experience
of being a single mother for women who use a Reference Center for Social Assistance in the
city of Natal/Rio Grande do Norte. As specific objectives, we list: a) to analyze the life stories
of these women and how the markers of gender, race, class, territory affect their experiences
as single mothers; b) investigate the survival strategies produced in women's daily lives; The
research was developed together with CRAS Ponta Negra, using semi-structured narrative
interviews with four women who spoke about their life stories and experiences as single
mothers. The data were analyzed by the perspective of the intersectional feminist perspective
and four axes of analysis were listed: Work and income, family, motherhood and community
relations. From our research, it was possible to identify that these women take care of their
children alone, doing what is possible to be able to reconcile mothering activities with
domestic activities and work, which are, in general, informal and precarious. In addition, they
are women who depend on government benefits to be able to guarantee the monthly amount
sufficient to support their home. The research also confirmed the unequal weight of maternity
and paternity, since single mothers point out the father's omission in the financial provision
and in the care part. Furthermore, the study highlighted the need to think about public policies
that directly benefit the single mother through the generation of income and jobs, in addition
to creating spaces for socializing care for children, such as day care centers. |
