O empoderamento das mulheres no mercado de trabalho brasileiro a partir da aplicação dos Women’s Empowerment Principles das Nações Unidas na Itaipu Binacional, Instituto Lojas Renner e Eletrosul

Abstract

The participation of women in the labor market has been increasing gradually and has brought changes in the structure of society. Several feminist movements and other feminist empowerment actions have brought more women into the corporate environment. One example is the creation of the Seven Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs), created by UN Women in 2010, which seek gender equity within organizations. In this context, this monograph discusses, from a descriptive analysis, how WEPs contribute to greater participation of women in Brazilian companies, describing projects of three companies in Brazil that support WEPs: Itaipu Binacional, Lojas Renner Institute and Eletrosul.
