Abstract(s)
A igualdade entre homens e mulheres foi sempre uma temática abordada nas correntes de pensamento, ao longo dos séculos. A vertente biológica (obviamente diferente entre os géneros masculino e feminino) marcou esta diferença durante muito tempo, porquanto eram reconhecidas aos homens capacidades que, à partida, seriam inigualáveis pelas mulheres. Assim, na vertente laboral, era difícil imaginar o sexo feminino a exercer profissões comummente ligadas aos homens (como é o caso das Forças e Serviços de Segurança). No entanto, e de forma gradual, este panorama foi-se alterando, no sentido de uma maior igualdade entre os géneros. As contingências sociais, que entretanto se foram verificando, levaram a que as mulheres fossem ocupando postos de trabalho e responsabilidades, até então, atribuídas exclusivamente aos homens. Realçam-se, por exemplo, o acesso a cargos políticos, aos cargos de gerência e, no caso das Forças e Serviços de Segurança (onde se inclui a Polícia de Segurança Pública, adiante PSP), as funções de comando e chefia. Actualmente, e no caso da PSP, existe já um número considerável de mulheres a exercerem estas funções de comando e chefia. Referimo-nos, pois, às Oficiais da PSP. Procurou-se com a presente investigação, compreender se existe ou não algum tipo de constrangimento sentido por parte destas Oficiais que possam, de alguma forma, condicionar o desempenho das suas funções. Para o efeito, foram realizadas 5 entrevistas a mulheres Oficiais da PSP, a exercer funções em vários Comandos e Unidades policiais.
Optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa para o desenvolvimento do estudo empírico e, com base num guião de entrevista previamente construído, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas e semi-directivas às intervenientes. As entrevistas transcritas constituíram o corpus sobre o qual se desenrolou a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstraram, de forma genérica, que as entrevistadas não manifestaram quaisquer constrangimentos ou dificuldades de maior (ao ponto de limitar ou condicionar as suas funções), evidenciando, de entre vários aspectos, a excelente formação recebida que contribuiu, em grande escala, para uma adaptação e estabilidade que permitam desenvolver eficaz e eficientemente as funções de que estão incumbidas.
Equality between men and women was always a subject addressed in schools of thought over the centuries. The biological part (obviously different between the masculine and feminine genders) marked this difference for a long time. Men were considered to have some capacities, which were not recognized among women capacities. Thus, in the area of labor, it was difficult to imagine women exercising professions commonly related to men (for example forces and Security Services). However, this panorama was gradually, changed towards a greater equality between genders. The social contingencies that have been realized, led women to take jobs and responsibilities, which until then, were exclusively assigned to men. Among these jobs and responsibilities, it is possible to stress their access to politician and command functions; in the case of Forces and Security Services (where the Public Security Police – PSP – is included), women perform functions of command. Presently, there is a significant number of women police officers. With this research, we try to understand if there is any kind of constraint felt by these women police officers that may affect their professional performance. To this end, five women police officers were interviewed. These women perform their functions in several police units and Commands. We decided to use a qualitative approach as far as the development of the empirical study is concerned. The semi-structured and semi-oriented interviews were based on a previously established interview guide. Such interviews were the corpus, on which the analysis of content was based. The results showed, in a general way, that there were no constraints or difficulties limiting or affecting their functions and highlighted, among others aspects, the excellent training provided to these women, which has effectively contributed to an adaptation and a stability, which in turn allow these police officers to efficiently perform their functions
