Temporalis, Brasília (DF), ano 15, n. 30, jul./dez. 2015.res cuidam do abastecimento, porém não participam dos espaços decisórios. A apropriação privada das águas e a acentuada destruição dos mananciais hídricos são os principais responsáveis pelo cenário de indisponibilidade hídrica nos contextos rurais. As principais lutas são contra a privatização das águas, falta de políticas hídricas que atendam as reivindicações das populações rurais, especialmente, das mulheres camponesas, negras e indígenas. ABSTRACTThis article deals with the struggles of rural women in Latin America around the water and aims to analyze the place of women regarding access, management and participation in decision-making spaces of the water policies of their countries. It was analyzed the Latin American Campaign "Water is Life and law" held by the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Rural Women. The article's premise is that the unequal distribution of natural resources in the field is related to the operating systems -class domination, gender, race and ethnicity among others. The results show that women take care of supply, but not participate in decision-making spaces. The private waters ownership and the severe destruction of watersheds are primarily responsible for water outage scenario in rural contexts. The main fights are against the water privatization, lack of water policies that meet the demands of rural populations, especially the peasant, black and indigenous women.
Resumo: Neste artigo pretendemos contribuir com o debate sobre a condução das políticas hídricas voltadas ao Semiárido brasileiro, especialmente, nas ações voltadas à universalização do acesso à água para as famílias que vivem em condições de extrema pobreza na região. Nossas considerações partem da premissa de que a água, como elemento condicionante fundamental da vida humana no planeta, é um direito humano, e portanto, deve ser garantido a partir de políticas públicas universais, que garantam o acesso às populações rurais. Nosso principal argumento é que a questão ambiental no Brasil, e de modo específico, a questão do acesso e uso da água pelas populações do Semiárido Brasileiro, está intrinsecamente ligada ao aprofundamento das relações capitalistas de produção na condução de uma política hídrica que prioriza a privatização da água e legitima o valor econômico de um elemento natural indispensável à vida.Palavras-chave: Políticas Hídricas. Direitos. Semiárido.Abstract: This paper aims to contribute to the debate on the conduct of water policies aimed at the Brazilian semiarid region, especially, in actions aimed at universal access to water for families living in extreme poverty in the region. Our considerations are based on the premise that water, as a fundamental determinant element of human life on the planet, is a human right, and therefore must be ensured from universal public policies that ensure access to rural populations. Our main argument is that the environmental question in Brazil, and specifically, the question of access and use of water by the population of the Brazilian semiarid region, is intrinsically linked to the deepening of capitalist relations of production in conducting a water policy that prioritizes the water privatization and legitimizes the economic value of a natural element essential to life.
This article analyses the harmful implications of the historical phenomenon of racism and sexism in the lives of black women. Through their manifestations on the internet, namely in the form of hateful comments, it becomes clear that racism and sexism remain active and it is necessary that the black and black feminist movement start to act in the virtual environment to face it. We conclude that black digital activism is an important tool in the struggle to build associability without oppression and inequality.
