All the time we are so busy trying to figure out another problem, concrete social problems. We believe we are making the social changes now that could lead to socialism in Brazil. All the time that we're together, we try to observe what is going on and discuss how to be different. It's part of making the changes from inside us. The women were the first to act during the land occupations.
Women working in the cooperatives receive as much pay as the men.
Also, instead of women doing the food in each case, or men doing it for each family, there is some rotation. There are big changes that I've seen, but I don't see big changes between women and men in terms of the interpersonal relations. Yes, and in an interesting way. I work in the Northeast of Brazil, which is very conservative. We were invited to a meeting of women in the South, where they are much more progressive in terms of women's issues.
