MARIANO, Silvana Aparecida and CARLOTO, Cássia Maria. Gênero e combate à pobreza: programa bolsa família. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2009, vol.17, n.03, pp.901-908. ISSN 1806-9584.
The Brazilian social assistance policy is guided by the perspective of poverty fight efforts, which prioritize the conditioned income transfer. These programs privilege the income transfer to women and involve them in a net of obligations and conditions, as it is done in the Family Donation Program. The practice within Family Donation Program highlights some contradictions between the State actions and the feminist demands, especially those concerning the motherhood problem. This is thus a core question for the dialogue between the feminism and the social policies sponsored by the State.
