| Sumario: | This article aims to achieve an appraisal of the stage in which the incorporation of the military woman in Brazil is found in the second decade of the 2000’s, based on data provided by the three commands of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense. We start from the understanding that the female sex in the Armed Forces is one of the elements that make up civil-military relations and we analyze, based on the indicators established by Carreiras (2006), the i) percentage of women in the total active force; ii) the distribution of military woman in functions iii) the formal restrictions on combat functions; iv) the formal category restrictions; v) the percentage of women in the category of officers; vi) the segregation in basic training; and vii) the programs for gender mainstreaming. In the end, we concluded that women are not yet satisfactorily integrated into the Armed Forces of Brazil, either in quantitative or qualitative terms, because they do not occupy, in their entirety, the positions and functions of the Armed Forces. |
