Um caminho para elas: as dinâmicas da política sul-mato-grossense para as mulheres

Abstract

This report is about the production of a feature article on the participation of women in the politics of Mato Grosso do Sul, exploring the dynamics that hinder their inclusion in institutional, party, and electoral spheres. The methodology involved documentary research, open data analysis, interviews with female politicians and experts, and the production of an in-depth report. Key procedures included data collection and analysis, conducting in-person and virtual interviews, and the use of technological tools for audio and photo editing. The results show that, despite greater female participation as voters, women’s presence in political positions remains limited, reflecting structural and cultural inequalities. The research also highlights the challenges faced by female journalists and the forms of political gender-based violence. This work contributes to a better understanding of the obstacles to female representation in politics and offers reflections on the subject.
