Summary:This paper’s theme are the new spaces of democratic participation in Brazil, more specifically, the new political characters and the new spaces for the civilian society’s mobilization, from an analysis of female leaderships in the work and revenue’s association that have been growing in districts and neighborhoods with high levels of poverty and violence in the city of Porto Alegre. A major part of these organizations is dedicated to recycling solid residue, and, have as a defining characteristic a great number of women, either as member or leaders of these institutions. We seek to discuss such collective actions on its relation with the public government, urban social movements and non-governmental organizations (NGO’s).
