SUMMARY:

This research will investigate household water insecurity in the micro-region of
Santarém, through the observation of the relationships surrounding water supply and
consumption, considering gender inequalities. Of the people who make up the family group,
considering the situations of deprivation, in terms of access to drinking water, women and
girls are the most affected, since, socially and culturally, they are primarily responsible for
household chores and care, in production and reproduction. of everyday life, to which access
and household water management are essential. We will discuss the importance of water for
human consumption, observing this problem from a paradox in the Brazilian Amazon: that of
abundance versus scarcity. It was observed, through theoretical and empirical works, the
household management and issues that may weaken water consumption, such as: the possible
unavailability, (the lack or difficulties of access); the compromise of supply sources, due to
chemical contamination or pathogens; the floods, ebbs and droughts; potability and storage
conditions; as well as problems arising from human consumption of water, in conditions
outside the standards guaranteed by law, which can result in waterborne diseases. For the
United Nations, inaccessibility to drinking water violates an essential, fundamental and
universal human right, indispensable to well-being, quality of life and dignity. The
identification and characterization of water insecurity, as well as the household management
of water in the Amazon region, fosters the debate on public policies in a vision that goes
through gender inequalities, and that affects women at all stages of life, from their childhood
to old age, including puberty, maternity and illness.
