Às Mulheres: uma reflexão sobre o espaço público na perspectiva feminina em Campo Grande–MS

Abstract

The paper aims to reflect on the relationship of women with public spaces, emphasizing the city of Campo Grande, MS, and particularly the region surrounding the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). The study discusses the gender inequalities present in urban space and planning, which have historically been dominated by a masculine perspective. The research also assesses how the exclusion of women from decision-making processes results in environments of vulnerability, insecurity, and discomfort, affecting women's mobility. Utilizing feminist and urban theories, the work seeks to propose guidelines for urban intervention that make public space more inclusive, safe, and accessible for everyone, especially women, based on bibliographic research and interviews with the female audience frequenting the area. With these proposals, it is hoped to achieve safer, more inclusive, and diverse urban designs.
