SANTOS, Maria Helena e AMANCIO, Lígia. Resistências à Igualdade de Género na Política. Ex aequo [online]. 2012, n.25, pp.45-58. ISSN 0874-5560.
Given the worldwide gender inequality that exists in politics, in the last decades affirmative action measures have been implemented to promote women’s representation, such is the case of Portugal with the Parity Act adoption in 2006. However, these measures have generated controversy, polarizing opinions in public debate. This article presents a reflection on the main results of an investigation made in the context of a PhD thesis (Santos, 2010), with professional of politics (MPs) and non-professional (university students), that aimed to contribute to a better knowledge about the gender inequality in this context and the obstacles/resistances to measures designed to fight it.
