Abstract: | In this paper, I identify and reflect upon some of these redefinitions and the consequent detours and distortions that have marked the translation of gender theory to policy and planning in Brazil. I argue that the adoption of a gender approach in Brazil has faced considerable resistance on the part of planners and practitioners. As such, the concept of gender has been subjected to much bending and stretching in order to fit the needs and interests of contending institutions and actors. This has often led to the smoothing out of its more radical undertones, turning women’s interests invisible once again. |
