SUMMARY:

This dissertation explores the correlation between gender, intersectionality and political representation through the election of black, indigenous, transgender and transsexual councilwomen in the year 2020. The theme is examined through bibliographic research on feminist, intersectional and decolonial theoretical frameworks, quantitative data analysis regarding the group under analysis, semi-structured interviews with four elected councilwomen in 2020 and research on documentary sources. The general objective of the research is to analyze, from a feminist, intersectional and decolonial perspective, the election of black, indigenous, transgender and transsexual councilwomen in 2020 and their views on gender issues and feminisms. The study provides an overall quantitative overview of these elected councilwomen in 2020 and proposes a historicized reading of feminisms to situate their election within the broader context of women's struggles for rights and equity. In order to understand the limited representation of these diverse parliamentarians in political spaces, as well as the increase in the number of these elected councilwomen in 2020, the impact of colonial hierarchies on their distance from centers of political power is discussed, along with the strategies that have contributed to their arrival in such spaces. The opinions and perspectives of black, indigenous, transgender and transsexual councilwomen on feminisms are central themes of the research, seeking to understand to what extent the formulations of this social and political movement are connected to the thoughts of the parliamentarians regarding equity and the fight against gender asymmetries. These analyses led to the conclusion that, despite various heterogeneities among the groups of councilwomen analyzed regarding life trajectories, number of elected representatives, party affiliation, national distribution and opinions on feminisms, there are also several commonalities among these women. It was found that they share narratives of violence resulting from their entry into centers of political power and some strategies to overcome the barriers that separate them from such spaces. Regarding feminisms, although not all parliamentarians are attracted to this social, political and scientific movement, that does not mean that they are antagonistic to feminists in positions of power. On the contrary, they are potential allies in the pursuit of equity as they bring to these spaces worldviews, agendas and demands from historically marginalized and invisibilized social segments.
