According to the research “Profile of the Women Mayors in Brazil (2017-2020)”, conducted by the Alzira Institute, only 11.7% of the 5.568 thousand city halls in the country are run by women - which represent 51% of the population -, despite having more political experience before the election and having a better education compared to male mayors. However, it’s important to note that women’s involvement in these spaces is essential to give a closer look to gender issues on the public management, as well as to foment programs that can turn into more effective public policies.
