No percurso das inseguranças e da paz, onde ficam as mulheres? uma análise do Plano Nacional de Ação brasileiro pelas lentes feministas

Abstract

The National Action Plan (NAP) "Women, Peace and Security" approved in 2017 consists of a plan drawn, concerning the gender mainstreaming and gender equality in the areas of international security and defense. The purpose of this research is to answer the following question: Is the NAP a set of palliative measures, which perpetuates an excluding and universal view of women, shaped by traditionalist optics? Or does it in fact adhere to the gender field in a transversal way? The starting point for the analysis is UNSC Resolution 1325/2000, based on feminist approaches, especially those that focus on race, class, and location, the theoretical and socio-political transformations that have occurred in International Security studies since the late 1960s, also considering the evolution of Brazilian feminist movements. With a feminist qualitative methodology proposal, based on localized knowledge, which refutes the concept of a neutral and an universal researcher and defends the proximity of the researcher with her object of analysis, and brings the researcher connected to the reality of her analytical object, the data analysis method is based on documental and bibliographical analysis, but also on interview methods with women who participated in the elaboration process and in the continuity of the Brazilian NAP, for the research to acquire women's voices, telling their own experiences and stories. Through the analysis it is possible to reach the conclusion that the NAP was the result of a great individual effort from women who occupied strategic positions, in a political context unfavorable for gender policies; however, the Brazilian plan remains without effective implementation and monitoring, disregarding the insecurities and the realities of women in the national territory.
