Clubes de leitura e a conscientização sobre direitos das mulheres

Abstract

This article explores the role of book clubs in promoting awareness of gender issues and women's rights, emphasizing the importance of literature as a tool for acquiring information and bringing about social change for participants. Through the analysis of participant experiences, the study reveals how reading in group settings can foster critical discussions and broaden understanding of the realities faced by women in different contexts. The results indicate that the selection of works written by women addressing topics such as gender-based violence and women's rights contributes to strengthening civic identity and fostering active social engagement. Additionally, participants report an increase in empathy and the ability to reflect on social injustices, highlighting the potential of reading to bring about significant changes in communities. This work concludes that conscientious and empathetic mediated reading is essential for building a fairer and more equal society.
