【 摘 要 】

This article discusses the modernization of gender inequalities which has occurred in Brazil in the last 20 years under the hegemony of neo-liberal macro-economic policies. A concept of gender as transversal is applied to questions of reproductive health (contraception and abortion, prenatal care and birthing, adolescent pregnancy, maternal and reproductive mortality, STIs/AIDS, and violence, among others), permitting analysis by both gender and social class. The history of the PAISM (Program for Integral Health Care for Women), on the other hand, reveals the complex articulation of this national public health program which, although strongly influenced by the Brazilian women's movement, has been infiltrated by heterogeneous interests in the international context. PAISM serves as an example of the appropriation of proposals and principles that were generated by this social movement, but re-articulated to gloss over the process of deepening gender and class inequality.
