Programa Pró-Equidade de Gênero: Uma discussão sobre relações entre homens e mulheres na Caixa Econômica Federal

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss to which extent the actions implemented in the Gender Pro-Equity Program-actions developed in Caixa Econômica Federal (Caixa) after having been granted the Gender Pro-Equity Seal-have improved the relationships amongst men and women in this financial institution. A qualitative research was carried out from documental research and individual, semi-structured interviews with five interviewees: four managers from different Caixa branches in the Federal District, Brazil; two men and two women, and the woman who is Caixa's Pro-Equity Program Coordinator. The results point out that there have been some advances in the implementation of the Program concerning the regulation of the parity commission of men and women in the examining boards of selective processes. However, women are still located in the base of Caixa's organizational pyramid.
