For over two centuries, women have been fighting for equality in the world, and it’s been about thirty years that women achieved formal equal position in Brazilian Constitution. However, there is a long path to be taken in relation to the achievement of gender equality, since it was noticed that, over the course of time, inequality has much more to do with the imposition of differentiated behavior patterns to men and women, denominated gender patterns, than with biological differences existent between the genders. The domestic role performed by women in the private life puts them in an inferior situation, which radiates to public and non-private realm, in such a way that the maintenance of gender distortions may be an indicative of the inefficiency of the normative system in this area. While State authority does not interfere in the individual domestic field, little will change in the public and non-private realm, especially in social environment and in labor market. This weighting passes by the content of freedom and of constitutionally guaranteed privacy delimitation, when directed towards women protection. The transformation of maternity leave and paternity leave, with the establishment of parental leave, the publicization of chores and family care, by means of joint actions between employers and employees in labor market, besides the direction of state actions in order to fight off oppression factors in the domestic realm are important steps in this path, without which will not be possible to go further on the process of constructing gender equality.
