Maternidade em tempos de pandemia: report como instrumento de divulgação científica

Abstract

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has exposed the challenges faced by women who are mothers and carry out care work, both in Brazil and in the world. The present work is an experimental project, developed through the creation of a visual report, exposed from the research “Motherhood and the use of social media in times of pandemic”, by the Research Group “Communication, Gender and Inequalities” (UFSM/ CNPq). The choice of the report format was made with the purpose of democratizing access to academic-scientific production. The quantitative survey, structured by the Google Forms platform, was applied between June 16 and July 1, 2020 and obtained 2,194 responses from mothers of all Brazilian states. For the final product, we related the data obtained in our form with secondary data from government sources, research institutes and journalistic sources related to motherhood, articulated with a theoretical survey carried out on motherhood, gender and care. After its publication, the report will be disseminated on social media, especially on the profiles of the aforementioned Research Group.
