Políticas públicas de genero e representatividade feminina no brasil : uma revisão sistemática da literatura

Abstract

Within the scope of public administration, the presence of women in decision-making spaces is crucial for strengthening democracy, bringing plurality and ensuring diverse social perspectives. Based on this statement, the research aimed to analyze the factors that influence the effectiveness of public gender policies in expanding female representation in political decision-making spaces in Brazil. Through a Systematic Literature Review, including studies published between 2015 and 2025, 14 studies were selected from the Spell, SciELO, and CAPES Journal Portal databases. The analysis of the studies revealed that affirmative action policies, particularly electoral quotas and the allocation of resources for female candidates, have increased women's representation in politics. However, these measures have proven insufficient to eliminate gender inequalities, given the persistence of structural barriers within political parties, disparities in the distribution of resources, gender based political violence, and historical cultural obstacles.
