This work aims to study the importance of women workers' participation in trade unions as a way to combat gender inequality in the labor market. There are a significant number of legal rules applicable in Brazilian legal system in order to combat gender inequality, with a repressive approach. However, the negative consequences of sexual division of labor persist, perpetuating stereotypical gender roles. It is imperative, therefore, not only the guarantee of protection against negative discrimination, but also to guarantee women's access to the labor market, through affirmative actions. In this sense, women's workers' participation in trade unions activities is a major way to ensure this access, as it enables women's empowerment, providing greater possibility for women to exercise power and citizenship in the public sphere in which democracy is constructed, and greater legal legitimacy of conventional norms regarding gender equality, given the normative role of unions. This participation in union activities, however, is fraught with a number of difficulties. To overcome these difficulties, it is necessary that women's participation in trade union organizations increases, not only with a greater presence of women in these organizations, but also with a greater capacity for decision making process, through the increase of women in decision-making bodies of trade unions. For that, it´s necessary the implementation of affirmative actions to combat the difficulties in women's participation in trade unions.
