GENDER INEQUALITIES IN THE BRAZILIAN EDUCATIONAL TRAJECTORY

Abstract

Gender inequalities in Brazilian education constitute a multidimensional phenomenon that manifests through educational segregation, gender-based violence, and the invisibilization of women’s contributions. Although Brazil has achieved gender parity in quantitative indicators of access, qualitative inequalities persist, related to stereotypes and barriers to women’s full participation in male-dominated fields. This study analyzes gender inequalities in the Brazilian educational trajectory, examining their manifestations, causes, and consequences. The methodology is characterized as an exploratory bibliographic review with a qualitative approach, grounded in the critical analysis of scientific publications from 2020 to 2025. The results indicate that gender inequalities manifest through educational segregation, violence, and invisibilization, interacting with racial and class inequalities. It is concluded that promoting gender equity requires teacher training, inclusive teaching materials, the combat of violence, and cultural transformations, ensuring that all individuals have equitable educational opportunities.
