In research published by ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), of the positions held by women, 31,78% are istrative, 11,33% operational and only 22,24% are leadership positions. 

The lack of incentives for technical training, gender bias and historical occupations are the barriers that most interfere with the hiring of women, according to the data.
