Most men (68%) say they believe that men and women have equal opportunities throughout life. The information comes from a survey carried out by the Clarice Institute.
The survey questioned 2,000 people across the country between November 7 and 14. The conversations took place over the phone. Among women, less than half (48%) say that equal opportunities exist.
The survey also shows that 63% say they always have a voice and space to say what they think at home, while only 34% say the same at work. According to the entity, the result is contradictory, since homes constitute the main scenario of gender-based violence in Brazil.
Furthermore, one in three women say that they need to change the way they speak, the tone of their voice, control their gestures, hide their own personality and pay attention to the way they dress to be better socially accepted.
“In public space, there is a lack of recognition; in private space, there is a lack of security. Material progress is not enough when the imagination remains governed by fear, inequality and silence,” says the group’s director, political scientist Beatriz Della Costa.
The Instituto Clarice – Imaginário de Poder das Mulheres Brasileiras is an initiative focused on research and the production of stories on the relationship between women and power in Brazil.
The work brings together researchers, writers, philosophers and experts, as well as women protagonists from fields such as politics, economics, science, culture, sport, climate and technology, and seeks to transform this knowledge into cultural products, such as books, documentaries, series and podcasts, with the aim of expanding the collective imagination about women’s leadership and power in the country.
Among the participants are the councilors Tainá de Paula (PT-RJ), Marina Bragante (Rede-SP) and Aava Santiago (PSDB-MT), as well as personalities such as the sociologist Neca Setubal, the writers and members of the Brazilian Academy of Letters Rosiska Darcy and Ana Maria Gonçalves, the philosopher Djamila Ribeiro and the psychoanalysts Maria Homem and Geni Núñez.
