WOMEN AND THE RIGHT TO URBAN LAND OWNERSHIP: AN INTERSECTIONAL VIEW AT PATRIARCHAL HERITAGE LEGISLATION
The law found in the street; women; property; gender inequality; My Home, My Life Program.
Based on a historical analysis of Brazilian legislation, we seek to understand to what extent the Law and laws are responsible for the housing deficit being predominantly female. The research seeks answers to the following question: what are the reasons why women suffer more from the housing deficit and have less land ownership than men? The historical recovery is combined with an intersectional analysis involving class, race and gender, in order to identify the elements that contribute to the fact that urban land ownership is still concentrated in male hands today. For this analysis, information was requested regarding the Minha Casa, Minha Vida Program on properties acquired by women and, among these, the proportion of those that go to auction due to lack of payment. This was the first national public property subsidy policy that recognized women's vulnerability and specifically guaranteed them priority access. However, the research was faced with a lack of information that could contribute to an effective analysis, as there is no identification of race and gender in the auctions of goods.
