SUMMARY:

The Brazilian livestock sector plays a strategic role in the rural economy, but its expansion, especially in the Amazon region, has generated environmental, social, and production challenges. In the state of Amapá, livestock has unique characteristics, particularly buffalo farming, which positions the state as having the second-largest herd in Brazil, while its cattle herd is the smallest in the country. The sector faces challenges related to infrastructure, logistics, and sustainability. In this context, women play a crucial role, but their participation is marked by structural and cultural inequalities that limit their recognition and opportunities in the sector. This study aims to understand the challenges faced by women in cattle ranching in Amapá, analyzing how gender barriers affect their working conditions and effective participation, characterized by an unequal division of labor, restricted access to financial and technological resources, and the lack of public policies that recognize and value their role. The research will adopt a quali-quantitative methodological approach, integrating data to provide a comprehensive analysis. Field visits will be conducted in four municipalities – Cutias, Macapá, Tartarugalzinho, and Amapá – selected for their relevance in cattle production in the state. Semi-structured interviews will be held with women involved in livestock activities, allowing for data collection, in addition to the analysis of institutional documents, such as reports from IBGE and DIAGRO, to complement the understanding of productive and social dynamics.
