DORCELINA PARA SEMPRE: A trajetória de Dorcelina Folador e perspectiva da caminhada de gênero

Abstract

This article aims to present the trajectory of Dorcelina de Oliveira Folador in politics and her struggle within the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (Landless Rural Workers Movement), MST, from the perspective of gender studies. This analysis addresses the difficulties and prejudices faced by Dorcelina as a woman, mother, and person with a disability, elected mayor of Mundo Novo (MS) by the Partido dos Trabalhadores (Workers' Party), PT. Dorcelina was one of the founders of the PT in MS, pioneering the implementation of social programs such as the Casa da Mulher Gestante (House of Pregnant Women) and the formation of the Participatory Budget during her term as mayor of Mundo Novo (MS) from 1997 to 1999. The research methodology used was interviews via Google Meet, employing the Oral History methodology with people close to and who accompanied Dorcelina in her political and personal development until her assassination in 1999, ordered after she denounced and dismissed officials for corruption scandals within the Mundo Novo secretariat.
