RESUMO
Resumo O artigo visa compreender como ocorre o acesso à água e ao esgotamento sanitário na Ocupação Vitória e a percepção dos moradores acerca da associação entre esse acesso e as condições de saúde aparecimento de doenças, qualidade de vida e as relações de gênero na comunidade. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo, fundamentado na imersão no trabalho de campo, empregando observação participante na Ocupação e em entrevistas com seus moradores. Observou-se a precariedade do acesso à água pela população, que ocorre por meio de ligações irregulares às redes formais, e a predominância de fossas rudimentares. A população relaciona a falta de saneamento com o surgimento de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias e impactos sobre a desigualdade de gênero. O acesso inadequado à água e esgoto impacta a qualidade de vida da comunidade ao comprometer a produção de alimentos agroecológicos e as práticas culturais e identitárias. A informalidade do assentamento se traduz em maior vulnerabilidade social e maior exposição da população a efeitos sobre sua saúde, principalmente de mulheres e crianças.
