Abstract

The debate on gender equality in patriarchal societies can enhance the right to emancipation for women. The text reflects on patriarchal society and how gender inequality presents in political-party representation in the Metropolitan Region of Vitória – ES. It is qualitative, documentary, bibliographic and empirical research based on 15 women: state representatives elected in 2014 and re-elected in 2018; the deputy governor, in 2018; and councillors, in 2016. Interviews, semi-structured script, and content analysis were employed. Based on the perceptions of these parliamentary representatives, we discussed the following categories: Patriarchate and Gender Inequality and Quotas as Affirmative Actions. It concludes that although women have gained social and political rights, effective inspection and equity for electoral quotas are necessary.
