MEDINA MALDONADO, Venus Elizabeth. Women in the community organization and their articulation with institutions of the public and private sector. av.enferm. [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.2, pp.228-234. ISSN 0121-4500.  https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v32n2.46210.

The objective of this study was to describe the experiences of a group of women from communal organizations during the processes of negotiation, dialogue and participation with institutions of the private and public sector which lend a service to the citizenship. It belongs to a qualitative investigation reasoned with the phenomenological method; four participants were selected, from an urban community in the municipality of Valencia, Carabobo State, Venezuela. The information was obtained through semi-structured interviews. For the systematization of the information, the computer program Atlas ti Demo Version was used, which made possible the formation of units of sense and the structure for the experience. The results showed that a protection factor for studied women was the support from their family group, which facilitated the presence of this group in the public life. The consolidation of community organizations has allowed them to get access to the structures of power to obtain resources or goods for the collective sake. As for the articulation processes with the institutions, protest and pressure were dominant in the discourses as the way to agree about the resources, the goods and services when their requests were not taken seriously.
