Resumo
Although the theme of water concerns environmental issues, it is possible to see the relevance
of economic discourse in this context. It appears that, on the one hand, we have the
recognition of water as a human right, but, on the other, there was its commodification, from
the moment it was declared as a good of economic value. So, the research intends to study
how the conception of water as a commodity impacts its access by the homeless population,
since, when assigning an economic value to a good, its access, consequently, will be
determined by having economical means of obtaining it. For this, the bibliographical and
documentary research technique was proposed as a methodology, as a means of studying the
process of recognizing water as a human right and discussions about water as a commodity. In
addition, the empirical research technique was used with an observational procedure method
with interviews with homeless people in Centro, Campinas and Universitário neighborhoods
in Goiânia, public servants from CentroPop and Serviço Especializado em Abordagem Social,
as well as volunteers from non-governmental organizations (Invisível GO, Grupo de
Regeneração Chico Xavier and Tio Cleobaldo). Finally, the research outlines a profile of
access to water by the group studied, demonstrating that access is insufficient, given the few
public water points in the city and is even more difficult when it comes to access to water for
hygiene. Furthermore, the stigma suffered by this population stands out and also how
inaccessibility to water is one of the various ways in which discourses that make these people
invisible and dehumanize are materialized.
