REPRESENTAÇÃO FEMININA NO PARLAMENTO: SUFRÁGIO, BARREIRAS INSTITUCIONAIS E MISOGINIA DIGITAL

Overview & Synopsis

This paper presents an analysis of the difficulties faced by women in the Legislative work environment. It is based on a study of the history of women's late participation in politics due to a patriarchal structure that prevented them for years from exercising their rights as citizens and the effects of this fact today, the presentation of important figures who stood out in the conquest of women's space in politics and especially in the Legislative Power, as well as highlighting the fundamental role of women in this Power and in politics as a whole. In addition, the discussion is also based on the presentation of complaints about prejudice suffered in the workplace, and the amplification of misogyny against women in this area on social networks. Using a qualitative method, with an analysis of legislation and authors who discuss the subject, it was possible to see that although women's participation in the legislature has grown in recent years, it is still small compared to men's and is extremely hampered by the misogynistic structure still present in the workplace and in society as a whole.
