0115/2022 - Gênero e Insegurança alimentar na pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil: a fome na voz das mulheres Gender and Food insecurity in the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil: hunger through women’s voices
Neste artigo apresentamos resultados de uma pesquisa que integra o projeto internacional “Gender and Covid-19”, a qual contempla diversos temas relacionados aos impactos da pandemia na vida de mulheres e suas famílias, dentre eles, a insegurança alimentar e fome. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas entre dezembro de 2020 e novembro de 2021 com 49 mulheres, moradoras de dois aglomerados urbanos, Cabana do Pai Tomás (Belo Horizonte, MG) e Sapopemba (São Paulo, SP), e duas comunidades rurais quilombolas, Córrego do Rocha (Chapada do Norte, MG) e Córrego do Narciso (Araçuaí, MG). As análises foram baseadas nas seguintes categorias: sentimentos e termos relacionados à fome; redução na quantidade e qualidade de alimentos; ausência de alimento e nutrientes; dificuldades para produzir alimento, receber auxílio emergencial e/ou doação de alimentos; avaliação dos governos e redes de apoio. Os relatos das entrevistadas evidenciam os desafios vivenciados, suas formas de enfrentamento e críticas à falta de respostas dos governos. Além de apresentarem uma perspectiva de gênero, as mulheres, em especial as lideranças que atuaram na construção de redes de solidariedade, são vozes fundamentais no planejamento de ações de prevenção e mitigação dos impactos de situações emergenciais em suas comunidades.

Semi-structured interviews were carried out between December 2020 and November 2021 with 49 women living in two urban agglomerations, Cabana do Pai Tomás (Belo Horizonte, MG) and Sapopemba (São Paulo, SP), and two rural quilombola communities, Córrego do Rocha.

The analyzes were based on the following categories: feelings and terms related to hunger; reduction in the quantity and quality of food; absence of food and nutrients; difficulties producing food, receiving emergency aid and/or food donations; governments evaluation and support networks. The interviewees\' reports show the challenges experienced, their ways of coping and criticism of the government\'s lack of responses. In addition to presenting a gender perspective, women, especially the leaders who worked in the construction of solidarity networks, are fundamental voices in the planning of actions to prevent and mitigate the impacts of emergency situations in their communities.
