Resumo

Este estudo investiga as percepções dos papéis de género nas organizações da sociedade civil nos diversos estados étnicos de Mianmar. Empregando métodos qualitativos, a investigação baseia-se em temas identificados em colaboração com o Centro de Desenvolvimento e Estudos Étnicos, com foco na sensibilização de género através de seminários e workshops. A análise revela temas comuns entre diferentes etnias, abrangendo dimensões sociopolíticas, económicas, educacionais, culturais e religiosas, todos enraizados na Convenção sobre a Eliminação de todas as Formas de Discriminação contra as Mulheres. Os resultados mostram que a cultura e a religião influenciam significativamente os papéis de género, com os homens muitas vezes a considerarem-se como decisores superiores em várias esferas, enquanto as mulheres tendem a ser relegadas a papéis domésticos. No entanto, os esforços contínuos na educação, na sociopolítica e na economia estão gradualmente a desafiar estes estereótipos dentro das organizações da sociedade civil de Myanmar.
