A participação das mulheres e as “candidaturas laranjas” no atual cenário político brasileiro

Abstract

The “political” theme generates conflicts in human relations, becoming constantly narrated by common sense as an issue that is not discussed, as it is porrly understood in the civil sphere. In ancient times, the female presence was completely impossible in the political sphere. On the other hand, some educartors and philosophers described the female presence as an important contribution to social growth. In Brazil, the law now provides mechanisms to encourage female participation in politics. The admission of fictitious candidacies, classified as “orange”, is a resource applied by political organizations so that there is due registration of the necessary number of female candidacies, fulfilling only the minimum percentage that is imposed by the quota system. Orange candidacies function as strategies, portraying the most common form of fictitious candidcay in political circles, with the understanding that their benefits are a result of gender discrimination.
