Resumo:
In Brazil, women entered military careers around 1950, being a recent achievement in
our democracy. In Bahia, the literature indicates that this access began in 1980.
However, a model persists in which it is not common for women to occupy spaces in a
significant way. Both from the point of view of access and from the point of view of
advancement, it is necessary to evaluate the context in which this woman is inserted,
addressing their level of representation within the Military Police of Bahia, forty years
after their first entry. On the other hand, the Public Defender's Office, with the advent of
LC 80/94, emerged as an institution focused on promoting Human Rights, with gender
equality asits main banner. Within the scope of the internal organization of the
Defender's Office, it is clear that the defense of military personnel cannot be dissociated
from the critical outlook and values advocated as the foundations of the Defender's
Office's raison d'être.This is the driving force for the limitation on the entry of women and
the low representation in command posts to have been observed and questioned in a
public hearing aimed at this purpose on February 6, 2020. Thus, the path forward points
to the creation of an Observatory of Institutional Gender Violence organized by the
Public Defender's Office with the aim of continually collecting more accurate data on the
reality stated to support actions that may impact in some way on the given panorama.
The observatory will also provide data on the reality of military firefighters, thus closing
the state public security forces. The present study considers the theory of the glass
ceiling (ceillingglass) in Daniela Versola Vaz, Laudicéia Soares de Oliveira, Andreia
Valeria Steil and Cristina Tavares da Costa Rocha, from a feminist epistemological
perspective and proposes to be structured in the field of everyday interactions
.Instruments such as a historical and conceptual survey of central elements were used
to better understand the career structure. Data collection and the state of the art are
included to evaluate the current situation of women's role in this career, in the time frame
from 2019 to 2022, evaluating legal and constitutional aspects to extract the data
necessary to map the situation, and how This has repercussions on the proposal to
create and structure an Observatory of Institutional Gender Violence in the Public
Defender's Office. The research points to a gradual increase in representation, for now
more present in access, as ascension to higher positions is slower.
