Políticas públicas para mulheres no Brasil: um estudo dos dois planos nacionais.

Abstract

The present study addresses the public policies for women developed during the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2002-2010). The two National Policy Plans for Women, which were published in 2004 and 2008, were used as study‟s background. Both plans have arisen as a dialogue process held between the government and civil society. In this work we have analyzed both documents‟ content, in which were identified the main subject and demands constituting such policies. Since its identification was possible to characterize the redistributive or recognition character from such policies, inasmuch as it was the major work argument. The key research considerations deal with demand enlargement and the inclusion of female subjects present at Plan II (2008), against the previous Plan (2004). Besides, was highlighted the enlargement of subject recognition, before excluded, in development of gender-specific policies.
