Summary: | Poverty, highlighted by inequality, is observed as a tendency to unsustainability. This aspect can be seen also in the social structure which runs relationships between men and women worldwide. Based on academic and empirical experiences on ecofeminism, this article aimed to establish analysis about how women and nature have been represented in the human context of the Reserva Extrativista de Canavieiras, Bahia, Brazil. This paper shows that there is a leaning to unsustainability on extractive and economical activities performed where the reserve is located, as well as on treatment to women which can been classified as attempt of silencing them up. However, at the end, this article also presents how women there have been overcoming their situation with some educational help from the university outreach. Key-words: Sustainable development; Human rights; Gender equality; Social justice; RESEX/ Canavieiras. A pobreza, evidenciada pela desigualdade, e observada como uma propensao a insustentabilidade. Constata-se essa conjuntura controversa na assimetria que rege as relacoes sociais entre homens e mulheres. Do ponto de vista do ecofeminismo, visou-se estabelecer uma analise da figura da mulher e da natureza na Reserva Extrativista de Canavieiras--BA, tomandose por base experiencias de natureza etno-metodologica. De acordo com os levantamentos realizados, a unidade de conservacao estudada possui grande tendencia a insustentabilidade seja na performance de suas atividades extrativistas junto a natureza, seja no tratamento com as mulheres, isto e, ao 'silenciamento'. Todavia, analisa-se, tambem, a maneira peculiar como esta situacao tem sido transcendida, por meio do empoderamento feminino das extrativistas da reserva em consonancia com a extensao da universidade. Palavras-chave: desenvolvimento sustentavel; direitos humanos; equidade de genero; justica social; RESEX/Canavieiras. |
