Conferences on public policy for women are relevant spaces for social participation, in which social actresses act and interact to influence the development of gender equality policies. In this paper, we aim to understand the repertoires and action strategies used by participants at the 5th Sao Paulo Conference on Public Policy for Women. Based on Alvarez and contributors (2003), we identified three main repertoires: double militancy, autonomist, and institutional. We also identified a coalition of power holders, formed by the municipal government and organizations close to it. This coalition was challenged mainly by the transgender women group, which was looking to increase their presence at the conference. We finish the paper discussing probable implications for the participative dynamic of conferences.
