The study “Integration of the Gender Component in Energy Sector Policies in G20 Countries” was launched by the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy), during the III Seminar on Strategic Management of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, last Monday (19). The publication presents an overview of the public policies adopted by the G20 countries, with recommendations for economic empowerment; access and accessibility to energy; political representation and representation in the energy sector; and gender integration and mainstreaming.
According to Samira de Sousa Carmo, general coordinator of Energy Efficiency at SNTEP (National Secretariat for Energy Transition and Planning), the study is essential to public policies in the sector. “In particular, the PNTE (National Energy Transition Policy), which aims to promote a fair and inclusive energy transition, through a participatory process and considering the most diverse social segments.”
Despite this, the study reveals that despite the relevant advances in gender equality policies in the energy sector, there are still challenges for the effective participation of women. According to the data, in G20 countries, less than one in four people employed in the energy sector is a woman. Of these, only one in five holds senior management positions.
In this segment, women earn 11% less than men. This work was developed within the scope of the Brazil- Energy Partnership, led by the National Secretariat for Energy Transition and Planning (SNTEP/MME).
