Resumo: | ||||||||
This study analyzes the Brazilian electoral system from a gender perspective and assesses key mechanisms of this system crucial for the understanding of the precarious women s access to positions of representation in the National Congress. By exposing how Brazilian electoral system produces unequal representation between men and women, it demonstrates that the adoption of closed-list proportional system, associated to an affirmative action is most appropriate mechanism to increase participation of women in the House of Representatives.
