Sumario:The United Nations (UN) advocates the inclusion of women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) as a pillar for the fifth Sustainable Development Goal (gender equality). Although women have, on average, reached a higher level of education than men, they still earn less in the labor market. The organization also reports that most women are in non-STEM careers, with traditionally lower pay. This study seeks to analyze Brazilian publications involving women in STEM in the Diário Oficial da União, in order to verify whether national and international guidelines are being carried out in the institution of public policies.
