Abstract

This qualitative work, entitled “The role of Youth and Adult Education (YAE) in the process of women's emancipation”, aims to understand how YAE favors the resumption of women's educational path in their emancipation process, using as theoretical support the conceptions of authors such as Arroyo (2017), Cruz (2018), Freire (Godoy (1995), Hahner (1981), Kalman (2011), Portelli (1997), among others. As well as the accounts of five collaborators who went through the EJA. In this context, I bring my life trajectory that motivates me to delve deeper into this theme, taking into account the impact that the EJA had on my life, the realization of this research work addresses how this modality of education favors the resumption of the educational path of women in their process of emancipation? The general objective is to understand the historical process of women in education. And as specific objectives: to investigate the entry of women into the EJA in Arraias - TO and to identify the paths of women who completed their studies through the EJA and entered the academic space. This work is justified by the importance of understanding how education can be an instrument of empowerment and autonomy for women, enabling them to achieve better living conditions, enter the job market, expand their cultural and social repertoire, among other benefits. Furthermore, by analyzing the impact of YAE on women's lives, it was possible to identify the challenges they faced when resuming their studies and the strategies they adopted to overcome them, contributing to the construction of knowledge and reflection on the possibilities of overcoming gender inequalities in the field of formal education.
