Abstract
The Bolsa Familia Program - PBF defines women as, preferentially, responsible for
receiving the benefit and for compliance with requirements of the program. This
concept seems to reinforce the common sense that sets family care as an obligation of
women. In this sense, we can understand that the PBF has served as a legal device of
feminization of the tasks it set. Thus, analyzing some of our care customs, we locate the
notion of invention of traditions at this experience. The present study sought to analyze
the process of empowerment of PBF s women beneficiaries in regard to the conditions
imposed by the program, the traditions of care in the family and the difficult task of
reconciling the housework with paid work. The study s field of research was the
institution called Spiritist Group Peace, Love and Renewal - GEPAR located in Cafubá
neighborhood in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. The methodology used was the Oral History
through structured interviews in which we could seek to approach the life histories of
respondents and their relationship to the PBF in order to verify the its impact on gender
relations. The survey results showed some interesting elements that suggested the
recurrent absence of men in the domestic sphere and in compliance with the PBF s
conditionalities; the women's perceptions centered on classic maternalism; the
understanding of the use of the benefit geared towards the needs of children and the
deadpan change in the gender division of household activities
