Female political and military representation in Brazil

Overview

Brazil is seeing an increase in female representation within its political and military sectors. In the political sphere, recent electoral cycles have led to more women being elected as governors and a projected record number of women in the upcoming 2027 Congress. Projections suggest approximately 128 women will serve in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, representing about 21.5% of legislative seats. Notably, the Federal District is expected to become the first federative unit to have all three Senate seats occupied by women.

In the military sector, the Ministry of Defense is implementing new regulations to reserve vacancies in selection processes. These measures aim to support the growing presence of women in strategic roles within the Armed Forces.
