Resumen:
This study verifies and analyzes how to care for women in the situation of
prostitution from the perspective of popular education, aiming at social
transformation. It is, therefore, important to investigate what are the mechanisms of
exploitation, the causes and challenges experienced by the women involved in
prostitution, in addition to examining the possibility of an education process which
highlights popular education and liberation and finally, to suggest lines of action for
the development of work from this perspective. The theoretical study becomes
concrete on topics such as: prostitution and the context of the women who are
involved in it, popular education, pedagogy and the processes triggered from the
perspective of social transformation, and spirituality from the perspective of care. To
accomplish such a study, in addition to the literature search, field research is used
undertaking data collection and gathering, by active listening, the life histories of the
women. Through the results obtained in the research, proposals are presented for
action with women in the situation of prostitution.
