Mulher na política: redistribuição, reconhecimento, representatividade para (re)construção da identidade de gênero no Tocantins e consecução do ODS 5

Abstract

This study aims to identify obstacles to the redistribution, recognition, and representation of women in public spaces, with the aim of promoting political emancipation and female human dignity, leveraging the quality of democracy, and accelerating sustainable development. Gender asymmetry in politics is a cross-cutting and hybrid issue, permeating human rights discourses, and impeding the social justice implicit in state theory and the commitment to developing global policies that mitigate gender differences. The study also aims to demonstrate that Brazilian public redistribution policies to promote female representation have not been effective, as they lack recognition and representation. The best-suited research for this study was an exploratory- descriptive approach, combined with the "ethical diamond" methodology, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, through bibliographic, documentary, and statistical research from public and private institutions.
