O lugar das mulheres moçambicanas na luta pela libertação colonial: as organizações femininas na FRELIMO (1960-1970)

Abstract

This article addresses the conditions of women's participation in the colonial liberation struggles within FRELIMO (Mozambique Liberation Front), seeking to highlight their roles within the women's organizations led by the movement and the role of women in Mozambique's multicultural environment, which defined specific roles for women, between the years 1960 to 1970. Our goal is to understand some of the challenges faced by women in participating in the struggles and, at the same time, how they organized themselves to resist oppression and assert their rights in the world of labor and Mozambican society. To achieve this, we conducted a review and discussion of the literature dealing with the condition of Mozambican women in traditional culture and during the moments of the struggles, within the context of FRELIMO, to gain insights into their conditions within the movement and beyond.
