SUMMARY:

Talking about women is a choice that goes through our pain, it is licking open wounds for generations, it is looking at the callused feet of ancestors, the heavy loins of our equals, calming uterus raging by violations, sewn mouths, dry tears, tarnished souls, but, above all, it is knowing that each scar is an eminently political writing. This work sought to shed light on an issue in the daily life of black working women who use public transport in a context of health and social crisis. With the COVID19 pandemic, economic and social difficulties were added and the episodes of violence against women were exacerbated. Public transport was considered one of the spaces with the greatest transmission of the virus. Allied to this was the precipitation of the service crisis, showing the fragility of the policy, its structurally racist and sexist characteristics, as well as the inefficiency of guaranteeing quality socially accessible mobility. From this point of view, the objectives of this study were to understand to what extent the current Urban Mobility Policy in Brazil, especially in Salvador, has impacted on the mental health of low-income black women workers, who during the covid-19 pandemic could not stay in isolation, as they developed their work formally or informally, far from their homes. In this nebulous path, but also (because of this) unprecedented, Identify the mobility conditions for a group of low-income black women who remained working outside the home during the Covid-19 pandemic in Salvador; Analyze the perception and experiences of these women about their conditions of urban mobility; To map, in the narratives of low-income black women workers, their views on how urban mobility contributes to mental health during a pandemic; Reflect on socially accessible mobility and women's right to the city. This is a Narrative Research, based on Feminist epistemologies, which is based on a bibliographical study to build the theoretical framework in which race, gender, territory, social class intersect as socio-economic determinants of mental health. Flower women were able to express their voices silenced by the naturalization of social suffering through their narratives about urban mobility, whose analyzed elements led to institutional violence against women, perpetrated by the inefficiency of politics, by insecurity, by the constant presence of sexual harassment, by violence psychological as a silencing resource and everyday gender racial micro aggressions. From their active voices, it was possible to conclude affirming the relationship between mobility, public transport and the mental health of black women and the urgency of this debate for psychology in Brazil and for social and public management policies.
