SUMMARY:

This research examines the experience developed by the Collective and Association Papo de Mulher, from Salvador - BA, and is situated in the interface Gender and Mental Health. The collective, which is composed of women in mental distress, has the collaboration of a group of supporters, and acts in a feminist and anti-manicomial perspective, in the struggle for rights and autonomy. Through an intersectional optic and the cartographic method, which considers the creation of a territory to visualize the connections produced among the diverse elements that compose it, it seeks to produce a narrative about the empowerment processes and the construction of the autonomy of women, from the daily accompaniment, the paths, the meetings and the collective action, highlighting the lines of force that cross the processes of such experience. This is done through daily monitoring, participant observation, semistructured interviews, and what emerges from the connections and in the movement of relationships. The cartographic path is structured in four chapters, dealing with the methodological and epistemological paths for a feminist and antimanicomial cartography; theoretical clues about inequalities, mental health and autonomy; encounters, paths, networks and actions built by the group; the daily life of Papo de Mulher in the construction of autonomy in times of pandemic. The research understands that the structures of oppression and inequalities, together with the manicomial logic, produce impacts on the mental health of women, marking a new form of suppression of the construction of autonomy and freedom, besides the maintenance of mental suffering. As a strategy to confront this logic, the Papo de Mulher continues to make rhizome, connecting networks, elements, ideas, movements and women, in the construction of the Bazar das Loucas, rounds of conversations, occupation of political and institutional spaces, and producing new actions, from its creative power. And, in this movement, it builds a multidimensional process of transformation of the reality of women in mental suffering, besides contributing to the production of new holes in the social dominant norms.
