SUMMARY:

This research aims to conduct a sociological analysis of the phenomenon of scalping of women
in riverside communities in the state of Pará, emphasizing a gender perspective. This type of
accident predominantly affects women and girls in the Amazon region, with a higher incidence
in the states of Pará, Amapá, and Amazonas. Scalping occurs when long hair becomes entangled
in the shafts of unprotected motors during river transport in small boats. The study focuses on
the social impacts experienced by survivors, as well as the collective mobilization they have
triggered in Pará and the effects of this mobilization on the formulation of public policies aimed
at women victimized by the accident.
