| Özet: | This study aimed to analyze the policies and actions of the Brazilian Paralympic Committee (BPC) from 2013 to 2021 concerning the inclusion of women in the Paralympic movement and its adherence to the International Paralympic Committee’s (IPC) guidelines promoting women’s participation in Paralympic sports and management. We analyzed the content of the BPC’s statutes, strategic plans, and reports. The statutes do not directly address gender issues. The strategic plans set goals to increase the number of female athletes but did not outline strategies for their implementation. The reports do not reveal specific actions aimed at promoting women’s participation in sports and indicate only a marginal increase in their participation in competitions, along with stagnation and decline in their involvement in certain events and projects. Women’s particiaption in sports management was not addressed in any of the documents. The BPC has not implemented the IPC’s recommendations. Given the disparity between men and women and the dominance of men in sports in countries like Brazil, it is crucial that the BPC and other national committees in similar contexts establish and implement affirmative policies to achieve gender equity in the Paralympic movement. |
