THE FEMININE PRESENCE IN THE BRAZILIAN NAVY: A LOOK THROUGH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROFESSIONALS OF THE SPECIAL ATTENDANCE PROGRAM
Abstract
The discussions carried out in this study are based around the debate of the female presence in the Brazilian Armed Forces (FFAA), as military professionals. The paper seeks to present aspects of this process based on the analysis of the profile of professional sand managers responsible for standardization, coordination, execution and supervision of a social program developed by the Brazilian Navy: the Special Assistance Program (PAE). The Program is part of MB's social assistance policy, and its assistance isex tended to dependents of MB (civilian and military service men) with disabilities aged over five years. It is a study with a methodological approach of qualitative character. The instruments of data collection were these mistructured interview and the documentary analysis. The results pointed out the predominance of female professionals (17 of the 22 professionals) in the performance of the PAE activities, which is not related to the reality of female presence in Brazilian Armed Forces (9,96% in 2013). It is believed that this fact is closely related to the process of feminization of the country's armed forces, initiated by MB in 1980, when a sexual division of labor was reproduced on the occasion, anchored in characteristics traditionally attributed to the social roles of men and women, demarcations of different spheres of work performance. For, they are professions associated with the dimension of care that preponderated in the professional formation of the subjects acting in the PAE.
