“Nossa Luta é Transversal”: Ocupação Tereza de Benguela e a Luta das Mulheres do MTST

This article aims to reflect on the correlation of women’s struggle within housing movements, using the Tereza de Benguela Occupation as an observation field, located on the east side of Sao Paulo and linked to the Homeless Workers Movement (MTST), developed in 2019. Using as the basis for the article the speech of leadership of the occupation, as well as an interview with a researcher from the movement, we resulted in a discussion that intersects the struggle of the occupation with specificities experienced by women and that observes common points of experiences, providing a significant way of building a feminine and popular struggle.
