Abstract

Introduction: Exploring Feminist Voices and Activism in Brazil This 'in conversation' aims at exploring some voices reflecting recent decades of feminism in Brazil and how women's rights activism has been experienced in this context. For this purpose, we have interviewed two Brazilian women whose careers have contributed extensively to the Brazilian feminist movement. The two interviewees, Jacqueline Pitanguy and Iáris Cortês, belong to a privileged class in terms of education and socioeconomic brackets in Brazil. They both have held powerful positions as public policies makers, in the State bureaucracy, during the late 1980s. Jacqueline Pitanguy and Iáris Cortês were members of the National Council for Women's Rights (CNDM-Conselho Nacional de Direitos da Mulher), a committee that worked to ensure the implementation of women's rights during the elaboration of the new Brazilian Constitution of 1988. After the 1980s, an important period marking Brazil's re-democratisation, they have been working with feminist non-governmental organisations dedicated to a wide range of feminist issues and women's rights agendas. Our first interviewee, Jacqueline Pitanguy, is a 65 year old sociologist and political scientist, who is the founder and director of CEPIA (Citizenship, Study, Research, Information and Action), a Brazilian non-governmental and non-profit feminist organisation based in Rio de Janeiro. This organisation works from a gender perspective, focusing on human rights, health issues, sexual and reproductive rights, violence, access to justice, public policies, poverty and employment. Its members promote the debate among different social groups and organisations regarding different issues related to women's rights. After the overthrow of the military dictatorship in Brazil, in 1985, Jacqueline was appointed as the President of CNDM. The CNDM was responsible for the development of public policies and programs related to reproductive rights, violence, access to justice, labor rights, health, education, black and rural women's rights. In this sense, while working

Captação De Recursos E Práticas Gerenciais Em Organizações Da Sociedade Civil Do Município De Lucas Do Rio Verde

“…Como um instrumento de controle, a prestação de contas exige conhecimento por parte do administrador para registrar, organizar, avaliar e cumprir com as metas propostas e com a real transparência da aplicação dos recursos captados para atingir os objetivos dos projetos (BORGES; DA COSTA; RAZA, 2018). Não se distinguindo das demais organizações, as OSCs devem manter práticas contábeis adequadas e escrituração em conformidade com as normas legais para a realização da prestação de contas (SANTOS, 2010;MENDONÇA;SEGATTO, 2014). Embora a gestão nas OSCs tenha evoluído, a velocidade e frequência de mudanças combinadas ao contexto de crise ou recessão torna a captação de recurso ainda mais escassa (LORCA; AVRICHIR, 2020).…”
