Mãe solteira não, mãe solo!

Abstract

Documentaries on social issues play a crucial role in society by informing, educating, and sensitizing the public about civic and social concerns. The topic of single mothers was chosen for this research due to its significant social importance that deserves media attention. These documentaries not only provide visibility to the stories and challenges faced by these women but also aim to raise awareness and sensitize the public to this reality. The goal is to provoke social changes, foster actions towards gender equality, more inclusive public policies, and a better environment for the development of children raised by single mothers. The aim is to create awareness and promote social and political support to transform attitudes and structures that often limit or stigmatize these women.
