AB  - This paper focuses on gender equality in the Brazilian energy sector, including both public and private sectors. It provides an assessment on how gender inequality impacts on women, and how their presence in decision-making roles can lead to more diverse and better practices that can positively influence a sustainable transition towards social inclusion and a successful clean energy paradigm. It also considers the development of a gender-responsive approach to designing opportunities for women in energy technology and innovation. The methodology was based on literature review, surveys and interviews through online questionnaires and in-person meetings with several representatives from the energy sector in Brazil, as well as international comparative analysis, including country-level case studies. Our results indicate two shortcomings at the government level that hinders the design and monitoring of policies for gender equality: lack of data disaggregated by gender, and absence of gender policies. The assessment demonstrates that overcoming barriers for gender issues in the energy sector requires not only a recognition of the baseline or the current situation in the country, but also a good monitoring of indicators, in order to identify the problem and support public policies, companies and NGOs’ project management.
