Technologies for another form of construction : experiences by women from popular movements

Portuguese version available in IDRC Digital Library : Tecnologias para outra forma de construção : experiências de mulheres de movimentos popularesThe research project is based on a housing movement called “Mutirão” which emerged at the end of the 1980s, where residential areas were constructed on the outskirts of populated cities in Brazil. This collective activity is usually led by women (around 80%) who organize, coordinate, and work on-site. This study deploys the female perspective that has been systematically erased by colonial and patriarchal orders, to redesign construction sites, materials, tools, and techniques and deconstruct the barriers created by sexual division of labour. Through participatory processes and workshops, this study uses female perspectives to resurrect ancestral construction techniques, such as the Pana: a fabric that serves both as an object for daily activities such as for carrying things around, and as a manual that outlines technologies and construction techniques from women in different territories of Brazil

Design and construction of gender and eco-friendly fuel-less generator for female artisans in Nigeria

African civilization has traditionally been patriarchal, and this male-centered inclination permeates all facets of daily life, including the way we think about product design. Most of the user’s centered design framework is very generic and lacks the inclusiveness that is expected to address specific related design issues. Gender-centered design, a particular user-centered design paradigm, has recently risen to the forefront of product thinking. This idea ensures that men and women receive the same benefits from policies and programs while preventing the continuation of inequality. The study used a descriptive and inferential statistical analysis for the questionnaire, and it used the House of Quality (HoQ) tool to map the engineering qualities with the Voice of Customer (VoC) that was retrieved from the participant’s recorded utterance. The HoQ was later used to explore the design of a fuel-less generator prototype

Spanish version available in IDRC Digital Library : Explorando las infraestructuras urbanas de cuidado para promover la autonomía de las mujeres en ArgentinaThis research addresses the issue of care work as mostly assumed by women and focuses on the unequal distribution of care services and infrastructures in fragmented cities.

Case study of clothing design considerations of low-income, menopausal women in Brazil

Portuguese version is available in IDRC Digital Library : Um estudo de caso sobre design de roupas; considerações sobre mulheres na menopausa de baixa renda no BrasilAs in many societies, in Brazil, middle-aged and low-income women are subject to marginalization caused by social and gender inequality. This reality underlies the construction of negative stereotypes associated with the devaluation of aging female bodies and beauty. Clothing contributes to the perception of belonging and acceptance in the social environment. When the issues of aging, gender, and economic vulnerability are present, these judgments can further feed the construction of depreciating stereotypes of women. Recognizing the particularities of these women and their demands is essential for the development of clothing products that can contribute to self-esteem and social belonging, democratizing the actions and design solutions. Thus, this investigation had as a main objective: to understand how middle-aged and low-income women perceived the biopsychosocial factors of aging, and how they influence the factors of usability and social representation through the bias of gender construction
