Where certain social groups have succeeded in dominating the discussions and policy decisions, your perspective defined priorities and the terms in which they were discussed. Taking this observation into account, this work presents mechanisms of experiences that seek to increase the political participation of women, a group that represents more than half the world's population and is still passed over in positions of power. The inclusion of women in political life and in positions of power is informed by a number of factors that are not limited to institutional aspects. Nevertheless, the electoral and party system, and the existence of quotas and the type adopted, are key to increasing political participation of women. In this sense we perform an analysis of the impact of these factors, as well as a case study on the twentieth years of gender quotas in the Workers Party (PT), in order to discuss women's political participation within the parties.
