Abstract
Women’s political representation in Brazil has been a huge topic of discussion yet and a growing issue for women of all backgrounds in the country. Despite continuous national efforts, women in Brazil keep suffering from an increasingly small political representation which infringes on their political self-perception. The partial representation of women within Brazil’s National Congress only accounts for a specific group of women that most of the time don’t fight for intersectionality-oriented decisions in order to fully represent the Brazilian diversity in cultures, ethnic/geographical backgrounds, economic status, sexual orientation and age. Having intersectional and inclusive policies were found to be incredibly beneficial not only for the political world but also the rising conservationist, exclusive and gendered Brazilian society With the help of a case study analysis on Brazil and interviews with Brazilian women experts, institutional, cultural and social factors were found to be of great importance when analysing the barriers that enable women from participating in politics. This thesis therefore examines these factors and the extent to which they affect women’s leadership careers in the private and public sphere. Final recommendations are offered in hope of more research and action on such a crucial topic for Brazil’s political and social development.
