Representatividade feminista e a efetivação de direitos reprodutivos e sexuais no Brasil

Abstract

The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the absence of feminine and feminist representativeness in the political scenery does have a serious impact on the effectiveness and on the access of reproductive and sexual rights in Brazil, through legal recognition and access of various groups to these rights, emphasizing the necessity of policies to ensure that women integrate the political space, to make sure that the public space is a reflection of the diversity of groups that our society has. It was a monography coming from a bibliographical research of description of the doctrinal positions and of national and international legal dispositions on the proposed subject. To fulfill this purpose, some sources of information were used, such as books, scientific articles, journalistic materials and legislative instruments. This research analyzed the way that the reproductive and sexual rights began to be discussed in the international community, based on a concern related to demographic issues, which later served to bring to the debate the need for recognition of sexual and reproductive rights for women to ensure gender equality, which generated a need for international regulation on the subject, later internalized in Brazil. Then, an analysis was made of the presence of women in the political environment in Brazil, means for this presence to be expanded and the need for this presence to internalize the legislative devices on the subject and to ensure access to these rights through policies as essential rights to ensure dignity and equality between men and women.
