Regarding the study of the guarantee of women's human rights in society, it is observed that there is much to be repaired by the States regarding the centuries of exclusion of rights throughout history. One of these rights, the object of this article, refers to the representation of women in politics. This research is dedicated to the analysis of the disproportionality of gender representation in Brazilian politics, as well as in the power relations within the political parties and party coalitions themselves. Although women have secured their political rights in the constitutional text, little attention has been given to gender equality in this context, especially when it comes to political representation. Knowing this, the institutional dialogue between the Legislative Branch and the Judiciary Branch will be analyzed, since the advent of the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988. To this end, the laws that promote women's participation in politics through legislative action will be studied. Likewise, some decisions from the Superior Electoral Court, made through consultations, regarding the inclusion and diversity of female representation in politics will be analyzed.
Keywords: Gender Equality; Political Rights; Political Representation; Affirmative Actions; Superior Federal Court; Superior Electoral Court.
