WOMEN IN BRAZIL
Women in Brazil have the same legal right as men. So, many women have pretty similar job as men. It is pretty usual for women to work in Brazil. The percentage of women working outside their homes has increased over the years. Women in Brazil are still considered to be in charge of their home such as, cleaning, making food for the whole family, and taking care of their kids. Today about 60% of women go to school and finish. So, that means a lot of women have better jobs.
On November 21, the World Economic Forum released a study indicating that the country had put aside their gender differences in education and health treatment but that women still fall behind in salaries and political influence. According to the Labor and Employment Ministry, women were paid 30 percent less than men. Although the law prohibits discrimination against women, there are still many issues of women’s salaries and jobs.
Women gained the right to vote under the same literacy requirements as men in 1932. The Brazilian women's suffrage movement was led by biologist Bertha Lutz. In 2006, women accounted for 51.5% of all Brazilian voters. (Voting is mandatory in Brazil for literate citizens.) Although there's major participation of women in the elections, the percentage of women who become Federal deputies is still very low.
Brazil society has always identified women as weak, and men as powerful and with authority and strength. Nevertheless, women have progress a lot, as Brazil elected a female president in 2001.
