NAME:
Women did not always have the same rights as men. For a long time, they could not do the same things that men were allowed to do.
Until 1879, women could not attend higher education in Brazil. And, even after having obtained this right, women who decided to study at university suffered a lot of prejudice from colleagues, professors and family members.
It was not until the 1930s that women gained the right to vote and run for public office. Until then, in Brazil, only men had these rights.
In 1988, the Federal Constitution of Brazil established that men and women are equal in rights and obligations, prohibiting any form of discrimination based on gender. Even so, many women still suffer discrimination and mistreatment.
In 2006, the Maria da Penha Law was enacted, which aims to curb all types of domestic violence against women.
Currently, women work in the most diverse of functions, occupy public and managerial positions, can study and vote.
But women still suffer discrimination, which can be seen in the wage gap between men and women who occupy the same position and in the violence that many suffer every day.
