Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.56, pp.150-161.  Epub Oct 14, 2020. ISSN 2358-0194.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2019.v28.n56.p150-161.

This article aims to discuss the importance of ethnography in research on prostitution. It focuses on the narratives of mothers, who practice prostitution, about the care and education of their children. We understand prostitution as a complex social practice that involves a diversity of relationships, interactions and social actors, not only guided by the exchange of money for sexual services, but rather, involves a diversity and heterogeneity of exchanges that take place within the street. Education, in turn, is anchored, in this article, in the theoretical framework of popular education and is understood as a political act in which human beings are called to constantly move. The research was conducted in Salvador, between 2016 and 2019, in contexts of prostitution, with long permanence of researchers in the field. Dialogues and conversations with women of “life”, or women of battle, give rise to the idea of the collaborative wheel as an educational and child protection network.

Keywords : Education; Prostitution; Mothers; Ethnography; Children.
