Sumario:The processes of production and reproduction of social inequalities that structure Brazilian society continue to restrict the possibilities to compete for public employment to groups that do not meet the conditions for approval of public contest (established in the 1988 Federal Constitution for occupation of positions in public administration). They also determine the niches that are open for those who manage to surpass the initial barriers. In the case of women, public employment historically had relevance because it provides guarantees for the exercise of mothering, but restricted them to specific spaces in social areas, and even then without occupying relevant positions. The research we conducted showed that they are in non strategic considered areas, more exposed to the precarization process, and that they also face specific difficulties for promotion within the administrative career. The 14 people interviewed helped us understand the covert mechanisms of discrimination.
