This paper is based on an analysis of chrononormativity, analyzing the negotiation of gender and age as influenced by religion in the management of an NGO in Uberlândia, MG, Brazil. The aim of the study is to explore the function of the norms imposed by religious beliefs on the negotiated experiences of age and gender, analyzing the discourses of the NGO's female workers. Eight women were interviewed with the questions based on the relation between religion, gender and age and their experiences working at the NGO. The study identified suffering and sacrifice among the workers due to the demands placed on them due to their condition as women, however they also feel satisfaction, trust and hope thanks to the organisation's mission and the jobs that they hold.

Keywords : Gender; age; religion; chronormativity.
