Desigualdade de gênero: um olhar sobre a contribuição da educação para a ocupação dos cargos da magistratura

Abstract

This research is part of the State, Policies and Educational Institutions Graduate Program in Education at the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás. The object of the research is to analyze the occupation of judicial posts and the mediation of education in this process, from the perspective of gender inequalities. Gender inequality is still a prevalent factor in Brazil and has repercussions in various social segments, including the job market. The problem is: is education as a mediator in the occupation of judicial posts enough to overcome gender inequalities? Dialectics states that everything moves and is mutually connected, with contradiction driving this movement towards change. This approach proposes an analysis of phenomena from a material perspective, moving away from abstract conceptions, which is why it was used in this research. The focus of the research remained on analyzing the number of judges in the country's state courts from a gender perspective, with an emphasis on the state of Goiás, using data made available by the National Council of Justice (CNJ), as well as the official website of the state court. The results of this research show that, even though women are constantly seeking professional qualifications and are the majority of graduates from various higher education courses, including law, they do not occupy positions of power and management to the same extent as men, i.e. there are factors that prevent women from rising in the professional field that go beyond educational training
