The main objective of the thesis is to investigate the scope and profile of
female political participation within the Municipal Council for Women s Rights in
Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. It analyzes the effectiveness and influence of this
participatory space on municipal public management, focusing on actions and
programs designed to combat violence against women in the city. The study is
structured into three main chapters for a comprehensive analysis. The initial chapter
assesses female political participation in Brazil and the role of Public Policy
Councils, providing context and establishing connections between these elements.
The subsequent chapter addresses critical aspects of public policies related to
gender, inequalities, and violence against women. It highlights the main aspects of
violence in Juiz de Fora and outlines the local network efforts to combat it. The
third chapter presents the empirical work carried out with the CMDM-JF between
2021 and 2023, the main scope of which is to identify the profile of the municipal
councillors and the organizations they represent, alongside capturing the
perspectives of various civil society groups and movements outside the Council.
This section also examines the Council s strategies in addressing violence against
women, encompassing both its policy-making and oversight roles, and evaluates
the municipal administration s implemented actions. The methodology employs a
case study approach of the Municipal Council, complemented by qualitative
research techniques such as questionnaires for municipal councillors,
questionnaires for women who participate in civil society movements and
organizations not part of the CMDM-JF, participant observation of meetings and
document analysis. Notably, the Council is most operational in the city, working
with several participating organizations. Still, the lack of representation from
certain women s groups is evident. Some regulatory obstacles permeate this issue
and deserve more attention from the Council. Regarding women s public policies,
particularly those focused on combating gender violence, the CMDM-JF made a
significant contribution with the approval of the Municipal Plan for Women s
Policies at the end of 2020. Since then, the Permanent Working Committees have
been formulating public policy proposals for the municipal administration, though
this process unfolds slowly. The questionnaires findings suggest that the council
members oversight function requires enhancement. Finally, data suggests that
many actions developed by the local public administration converge, directly or
indirectly, with the Municipal Plan for Women s Policies guidelines to combat
domestic and social violence. Still, there is a need to strengthen the coordination
between the public authorities and the entire network for tackling violence in the
city and with the Municipal Council for Women s Rights.
