Política institucional de gênero e sexualidade em universidades federais brasileiras

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Over the last century, themes such as gender and sexuality have gained notoriety, strengthening social movements, such as feminist and LGBTQIA+ groups, which began to influence academic productions and the consolidation of public policies. The university, as an institution for the production and dissemination of knowledge, needs to be aware of these issues. In this sense, this study aims to map the consolidation of institutional policies on gender and sexuality diversity in Higher Education Institutions (IES) in the Brazilian context. It is characterized as documentary research. The search carried out at federal universities identified 48 policies on the use of social names, 16 universities with affirmative action policies, and 2 gender and sexual diversity policies. The research revealed that university autonomy enables advances in the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, although prejudice still supports the lack of policies in some Brazilian universities.
