Este estudo procura compreender como as políticas de igualdade de género afetam as carreiras de homens e mulheres na polícia, explorando as perspetivas destes sobre os papéis de género, desafios e oportunidades no seu contexto profissional. Para atingir os objetivos do estudo, foram realizadas entrevistas a 6 profissionais das Forças Policiais Portuguesas (PSP e GNR). Os resultados evidenciam que, apesar da existência de Políticas de Igualdade de Género nas instituições policiais em Portugal, a maioria dos/as oficiais entrevistados não tem qualquer conhecimento sobre as mesmas. Verifica-se uma perceção de igualdade no acesso à carreira, no recrutamento e na progressão, e uma ausência de formações específicas em igualdade de género. Apesar dos avanços na integração das mulheres e da extensão das funções que desempenham, ainda permanecem barreiras culturais, sobretudo na aceitação da liderança feminina, na associação de determinados serviços a requisitos físicos tradicionalmente designados aos homens e na ocorrência de episódios de assédio e abuso de poder. Por fim, homens e mulheres afirmam exercer as mesmas funções e usufruir da mesma remuneração, apesar de a sociedade continuar a reconhecer mais autoridade a figuras masculinas. Quanto à comunidade LGBTI+, ainda que a maioria dos/as polícias entrevistados demonstre atitudes de respeito, consideram que persistem casos de discriminação dentro da instituição policial. A falta de conhecimento das Políticas de Igualdade de Género realça a necessidade de maior divulgação, formação contínua obrigatória e uma transformação cultural, de modo a promover a igualdade de género na polícia, reconfigurando as funções habitualmente atribuídas a cada género e tornando consequentemente a profissão mais equitativa.
This study seeks to understand how gender equality policies affect the careers of men and women in the police force, exploring their perspectives on gender roles, challenges, and opportunities in their professional context. To achieve the study´s objectives, interviews were conducted with six professionals from the Portuguese Police Forces (PSP and GNR). The results show that, despite the existence of Gender Equality Policies in Portuguese police institutions, most of the interviewed officers are unaware of them. There is a perception of equality in career access, recruitment, and progression, and a lack of specific training in gender equality. Although progress has been made in the integration of women and the expansion of the roles they perform, cultural barriers still remain- particularly in the acceptance of female leadership, the association of certain services with physical requirements traditionally attributed to men, and the occurrence of harassment and abuse of power. Finally, both men and women report performing the same functions and receiving the same pay, although society continues to attribute greater authority to male figures. With regard to the LBTI+ community, while most of the interviewed officers demonstrate respectful attitudes, they acknowledge that cases of discrimination persist within the police institution. The lack of awareness of Gender Equality Policies highlights the need for broader dissemination, mandatory continuous training, and cultural transformation in order to promote gender equality within the police, reconfiguring roles traditionally assigned to each gender and consequently making the profession more equitable.
