A participação da mulher na política em Goiás nos anos (1980-1990)

Abstract

This research, whose theme is “The participation of women in politics in Goiás” in the years 1980 to 1990, was carried out with the aim of investigating and analyzing the importance of women in politics in the State of Goiás. This work is due to the importance of understanding why Women, despite being the majority of the population, are still a minority in the field of public policy. The achievement of female citizenship was slow and gradual through struggles, as their participation in politics was not an easy task because this field of work belonged to the male universe, we can see this according to the author Josebely M. de Souza Costa: The insertion, participation and achievement of women in the most diverse professional areas is gradually gaining greater space and attention in current discussions. For us, women's role in politics stands out due to the fact that this is a predominantly male field (COSTA, 2010, p. 10). Based on this assumption, this study seeks to understand the importance of women's participation in the political field of society and the main achievements in seeking to eliminate the prejudice still experienced by women in this sector. in Brazilian politics; identify the struggle of women, their achievements, changes in thinking and transformations in search of equality in the social, professional and political field, to understand the main contributions of women's insertion in politics in Goiás, in the 80s to 90s. To develop the research, the following guiding questions were used: What factors influenced women's participation in Goiás politics in the period 1980-1990? Do Goiás women want to make a bigger space in Goiás politics? Were feminist movements determining factors in women's participation in politics? Women today occupy a space that they have not occupied for decades, as in some sectors they continue to be considered weaker and this masculine view of power implicitly implies the prejudice rooted in the minds of people who judge women as incapable of carrying out certain tasks, or occupy more important burdens for society. In this sense, discrimination against women influences the qualities of their lives in all aspects: social, cultural and professional. It is important to highlight that the differences between men and women in our society will only cease to exist from the changing the traditional role of both men and women in society.
