In this article, we analyze the contributions of Freire thinking for the instruction of women in the in the education for young people and adults program (EJA), specifically regarding an awareness of their own working experiences. We present some reflections drawn from an ethnographic study done in two public schools of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The results show that the experiences of these women, including the subjects of this study, are of precarious working conditions. Therefore, the young and adult education environment is the only space that allows a reflection upon these experiences in order to understand the social relations that constitute human labor. A better understanding of these problems can contribute for these women workers to stop blaming themselves for the precarious conditions in which they have lived so far, and to stop feeling guilty for not having finished their basic education.
