Informações legislativas e os direitos em construção das mulheres brasileiras: proposta de categorização rumo à Agenda 2030

Abstract

The current thesis addresses the theoretical, methodological, and practical basis for studying the legislative information that covers the representation and the building of Brazilian women’s rights organized in legislative propositions processed at the House of Representatives. It is guided by the United Nations document “Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", an instructive global plan that proposes, among other things, parameters of equality for a prosperous future of women under the central promise “Leave no one behind”. Brazil is one of the 193 countries that have committed to the proposals of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their 169 goals. Thus, there’s a need to make efforts and take measures to create legal and administrative structures that promote regulation and implement public policies aiming at gender equality. However, the Information Policies documents adopted by the House of Representatives don’t show any instructions to identify the legislative proposals that relate to the 2030 Agenda. That said, this feminist applied research is justified by the urge to know to what extent the legislative branch is contributing to promoting the sustainability of Brazilian women when proposing future laws and public policies. Information Science stands out in this study for being a field of multiple insertions, interactions, and interfaces, for its interdisciplinary nature, its relationship with new technologies, and its social and human dimensions. Given this perspective, the general objective of the research is to propose a categorization to be used in the classification of legal proposals processed in the House of Representatives. This should address the building of women's rights and demonstrate legal advances or setbacks regarding the 2030 Agenda, particularly in Sustainable Development Goal 5 and its targets. The methodology establishes the fundaments and structures for actions that provide, according to their nature, the idealization of the applied research. A bibliographic path is carried out to build the basic theory and exploratory investigation. A qualitative approach is used to create categories and explanatory notes based on the foundations of the Knowledge Organization and according to the 2030 Agenda. The theme units are going to be created according to the quantitative analysis of subjects found among legal proposal data and metadata. As a result, 12 categories will be created to map future propositions in process on 56th Legislature, in a total of 1041 of which 208 were classified. This selected quantitative, according to the Pareto Theory, demonstrates the highest incidence in category four - Elimination of violence forms - with 78%. In conclusion, the proposed categorization reveals, in a concise and structured way, women's issues present in the statements of the 2030 Agenda. Also, the classification of propositions presents the basic metrics of the parliament's commitment to promoting equality for Brazilian women.
