SUMMARY:

This study seeks to make visible the stories of women working in the food and goods delivery sector via digital platforms in the Federal District and its surrounding areas. With the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, the work of app-based delivery drivers became essential in Brazil, sparking a series of studies on the topic. However, the dynamics of the socio-sexual and racial division of labor present in the platform economy led to the invisibility of women in news, research, and discussions. In light of the lack of studies on female delivery workers in Brazil, this research focuses on the female population within this category. During fieldwork, we met members of the group "Moto Brabas," created in a WhatsApp group in mid-2023, and directed our efforts to investigate the profiles, the specificities that affect the profession, and the conditions in which this work occurs. To achieve the research objectives, we used tools from qualitative, ethnographic research, with data collected through in-depth interviews. The analysis and discussion of the data were based on interpretive frameworks developed in the subfield of Labor Sociology and Gender Studies. The results point to a predominance of black and peripheral women who, for the most part, face challenges related to the social attributes that marginalize them, obstacles to accessing the city, and the oppressions that intersect class, race, gender, and sexual orientation. Still, the Moto Brabas have built a network of female solidarity as a form of political articulation to fight for their rights and better working conditions in an activity that, for many, is the only or primary source of income.
