O DIREITO DE ASCENSÃO DAS MULHERES AOS CARGOS DE MINISTRAS DOS TRIBUNAIS SUPERIORES E AS BARREIRAS ENFRENTADAS SOB A ÓTICA DA TEORIA DO TETO DE VIDRO

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze, among the various consequences arising from genderbased violence, the right to advancement to the positions of ministers in higher courts and the barriers faced by female legal professionals. In this way, based on the glass ceiling theory, the right of access and the reasons for the low number of women occupying the most esteemed positions within the Judiciary will be addressed. The method used in this work was hypothetical-deductive, with the research being carried out in a bibliographical way, with data collection available on the websites of the Superior Courts analyzed in a qualitative way. In this sense, it could be observed that the occupation of positions within the Superior Courts is disparate when a comparison is made between genders, with the participation of women being considered negligible. With this, it is understood that the need to break down barriers in relation to the patriarchal structure still present in the Judiciary and the search for changes regarding the way the Courts are composed, this change being essential so that there is greater female representation within of Superior bodies, given that there is full qualification of women for positions.
