ONU mulheres: um panorama acerca das iniciativas implatadas no Brasil (2015 - 2018)

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the actions of UN women in the period between 2015 and 2018, as well as their contributions to the context of women and girls in Brazil. Methodologically, the research started from an analytical-descriptive approach, based on systematic literature review and review. The results showed that the UN Women in its initial period developed several actions to promote gender equality and the rights of women and girls; however, these actions were centralized in the midwest and southeast regions. The northern region of the country had the least number of targeted initiatives. This reveals that, even international entities, still concentrate their efforts in the great centers of power, leaving the margin of visibility the spaces considered as peripheral in the country. Another factor linked to this situation was the political instability caused by the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, in 2016, a situation that had a strong component of gender discrimination and that caused a drop in the number of actions in a homogeneous manner. Part of this can be explained by the extinction of Ministries of Culture; Communications and Women, Racial Equality and Human Rights, which are important in articulating policies and partnerships between NGOs and the State.
