In this dissertation, we start from the political and radical idea of recognizing women as a subject of rights. We carried out a bibliographic review that relates Geography and Feminism, we re-read public policies for women based on the assumption that they result from movements and activism on the part of women and our horizon was the need to expand the geographic reading of the city from (re ) meaning of the Right to the City (Henri Lefebvre, 1991). For many women, the urban public space presents itself as a space of insecurity. In João Pessoa, since 2013 the Municipal Secretary of Women included in its objectives to intervene in the spatial planning of the city to reverse this situation. The instrument for this has been the Women's Policy Plan. Methodologically we are based on the Lefebvrian understanding of space as a product and social process. We understand geographic space as a condition for the reproduction of social relations that order and control our sociability, giving urban form to inequalities of class, gender and ethnicity, among others. We also understand that the demands of women constitute struggles in this space, as well as conquests for rights and we consider the changes underway in Brazil after the political coup (2016) as a setback where feminism operates, specifically in its institutional particularity, which reinforce inequalities that already existed. There is a concrete and specific problem, insecurity directly affects how women relate to space, how they may or may not exercise the Right to the City.
