As mulheres militares da MINUSTAH (2004-2017): uma análise sobre a inserção da perspectiva de gênero no treinamento e ação das tropas brasileiras no Haiti.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the insertion of the gender perspective, recommended by the United Nations Security Council, in the training of troops sent to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) between 2004 and 2017. For this, it was observed the participation of brazilian military women who were in the field during this period. The silencing that permeates the narratives of women in the various spheres of International Security is the biggest motivation for this study. As a theoretical framework, it was opted for the feminist theory of International Relations, since its theory employs gender as an analytical category. Being the methodology of approach essentially qualitative, the following research techniques were used: documentary, observation and interview. The dissertation has shown that the insertion of the gender perspective in the training of brazilian contingents for peacekeeping missions is still too incipient. In addition, the hypothesis that the focus of this training, based on gender issues, was aimed at the treatment of haitian woman was confirmed. From this, it was evidenced that, during the trainings that took place in those thirteen years, the question of the empowerment of the military women was raised only in the last contingents. It was also possible to observe that this lack of stimulus guaranteed the maintenance of the gender hierarchy that configures military organizations - male spaces par excellence - from the reproduction of gender-based stereotypes. It was latent that, in order to expand the possibilities field of the brazilian military women, it is necessary that they must be recognized as protagonists capable of playing any role.
