At the present moment, the Brazilian reality is deeply related to a structural crisis of capital at the international level, with the worsening of advancement of the extreme right of a neo-fascist character in the country and in the world. This represents a warning for the construction of women's resistance inside and outside leftist organizations. Thus, this dissertation proposes an investigation of the feminist organization in the Levante Popular da Juventude. The general objective was to analyze the social-political direction of the feminist organization in the Levante Popular da Juventude. Still, the specific objectives were: identify the articulation with other political subjects and the guidelines that unify the struggles; recognize the main feminist claims and actions; and apprehend the LPJ's feminist perspective and the relationship with the defense of an anti-capitalist project. For this, we carried out a theoretical study on categories: work, social classes, social movements, conscience, youth and feminism. We established dialogues with some authors, among them, highlighted: Lukács (2012), Duriguetto and Montaño (2011), Marx and Engels (2011), Iasi (2007; 2011), Swan (2013), Abramo ( 2007) and Federici (2004). With a qualitative approach, we used dialectical materialism historical as a method to guide our work. We conducted a documentary type survey, in which we surveyed all the materials linked in the Levante Popular da Juventude blog, between November 2014 and September 2019. The main results indicate that: the use of the various techniques of agitation and advertising made by the LPJ allows the articulation with the youths, as well as with other political subjects. The LPJ guidelines make up a set of fights based on what they understand as a “popular project for Brazil”. We identified that the main feminist demands in the LPJ are the fight against domestic violence and the fight over sexual and reproductive rights, however, we identified that these guidelines were only disseminated on or in reference to commemorative dates. The feminist perspective that directs the movement is popular feminism, although there is no explicit conception in the documentation analyzed about the understanding of popular feminism, we seek to point out the elements that characterize this perspective, namely: denaturalization of the roles attributed to men and women in this society, as well as the understanding of the systemic dimension of patriarchy and racism as the nucleus that underlies the countless forms of oppression in capitalist society. Furthermore, the LPJ understands feminism as vital to the political organization.
