| Resumo: | Community-Based Tourism (TBC) is a form of tourism management generally
developed in the territory of indigenous peoples and traditional communities under
the principles of self-management, social equity, solidarity, cooperation and
interculturality. The majority participation of women in TBC initiatives is widely
recognized by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) and the United Nations Entity
for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). The role of
women in TBC initiatives, however, does not lead to an automatic process of female
empowerment and gender equality. In this sense, the study aims to analyze the role
of women in the development of Community-Based Tourism in the Catu dos
Eleotérios indigenous community, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, and its
possible effects on female empowerment and indigenous social dynamics, from
2018, when TBC starts in the community. As specific objectives, the work aims to:
reveal the indigenous social dynamics and the sexual division of labor in the Catu
dos Eleotérios community; identify the results generated by Community-Based
Tourism and the challenges for its development, from the perspective of catuzeira
women; and verify whether Community-Based Tourism triggered processes of female
empowerment and changes in the social position of women in the indigenous
community. The research is characterized as a case study, inspired by the
ethnographic method, with the application of participant observation techniques, field
diary and analysis of semi-structured interviews, which made it possible to explore
the perspectives, experiences and meanings attributed by women to their
involvement in TBC. As a result, there is an initial process of female empowerment of
catuzeira women in the psychological, social, economic and political dimensions. In
the psychological dimension, the increase in self-esteem, active participation,
self-confidence and greater autonomy of indigenous women is notable. In the social
dimension, women are positioned more independently, gaining visibility, speaking
and decision-making power, strengthening the social position of women within the
community. In the economic dimension, women now have an alternative source of
income through tourism, providing greater financial autonomy and influence in family
dynamics, with prominent roles as entrepreneurs and artisans. With regard to political
empowerment, women began to participate more in community decisions and
represent the community in external organizations, however, they still do not exercise
leadership roles. Despite advances, some challenges persist regarding gender
inequality, such as the overload of women in domestic activities and machismo based
on patriarchal structures, obstacles rooted in the social structure of the community,
which still need to be overcome. |
