O preconceito e a discriminação quanto a inclusão da mulher na Marinha Mercante

Abstract

The first goal for making this monograph is to show, through different types of sources consulted research, that women are already facing many difficulties and obstacles to win equal rights, access to education and the labor market, and other equally important sectors such as the practice of new public policies in their favor. The social and profession al developments of women were getting a very slow and gradually over the years and is mainly related to its claims, which gained strength with the historical facts of the world, as the First Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution, and consolidated in Brazil with the implementation of the Conventions and of the current Brazilian Constitution of 1988. This work also exemplifies cases where there was prejudice and discrimination suffered and experienced by women when they finally started to take oppo rtunities of joining in the Armed Forces and, in particular, the Brazilian Merchant Marine. Great strides have been conquered by the female society in sectors that were previously exclusively occupied by men, such as military institutions, but the claims s eeking equal treatment on board merchant vessels are still ongoing.
