According to the standard, in force since January this year, the judicial bodies must carry out affirmative action of gender for access to the second-degree courts that have not yet reached the minimum level of 40% female Judges in vacancies destined to career magistrates. The rule is not valid for the positions filled by the fifth constitutional (State Prosecution and Advocacy).
The Counselor of the CNJ, Renata Gil, President of the Committee to Encourage Institutional Participation of Women in the Judiciary, said that the meeting "brings light to the new challenges facing the implementation of this affirmative action, in addition to the recognition of the concrete results already achieved in promoting the participation of women in the judiciary". The committee is responsible for preparing studies, scenario analysis, dialogue with the courts and concrete proposals to expand female representation.
To date, eleven magistrates have been promoted as Justices – Ana Luiza Villa Nova (TJSP), Lucicleide Pereira Belo (TJPI), Heloisa Cariello (TJES), Anglizey Solivan de Oliveira (TJMT), Silvana Malandrino Mollo (TJSP), Luciana Bortoleto (TJPR), Sirlei Matinhs da Costa (TJGO), Tania Mara Ahualli (TJSP), Elisabeth Rosa Baisch (TJMS), Maria de Fátima dos Santos Gomes (TJSP) and Erica Ferreira (TJSC).
