Abstract

Abstract of the article "Women's Achievements in Brazil: A Timeline of Laws and Public Policies": This article presents a timeline of the main achievements of women in Brazil, focusing on the laws and public policies that have ensured fundamental rights throughout history. The main objective is to illustrate the trajectory of feminist contributions, highlighting their struggles, as well as strengthening the defense of feminism in contemporary times. To achieve this purpose, a descriptive methodology was employed, characterized by documentary research, which analyzed historical milestones from 1827 to 2024. The research covered crucial events, such as the approval of the Maria da Penha Law in 2006 and the criminalization of femicide in 2015, highlighting the legislative transformations aimed at protecting women's rights. The data collected reveal that, despite significant advances in the achievement of rights, considerable challenges still persist that must be faced to achieve full gender equality. These challenges include the prevalence of gender-based violence and inequality in the labor market. An analysis of historical and legislative milestones highlights the importance of the feminist struggle in building a more just and equitable space. It concludes that, although the trajectory of women in Brazil has been marked by important achievements, the continued fight for rights and the promotion of inclusive public policies are essential to guarantee the effectiveness of these rights and the overcoming of existing inequalities.               1.571   Abstract of the article "Women's Achievements in Brazil: A Timeline of Laws and Public Policies": This article presents a timeline of the main achievements of women in Brazil, focusing on the laws and public policies that have ensured fundamental rights throughout history.
