Scientific physics events in Brazil: female participation

Abstract

We have carried out a partial survey on the female participation in events organized by the Brazilian Physical Society (SBF, in Portuguese) from 2005 to 2021. Our analysis shows that the participation of women has increased over the years, reaching in some areas, the same percentage as the one observed in the SBF community (always lower that 25\%). However, the participation as members of organizing committees and as keynote speakers is always lower. Some propositions to change this inequality situation are listed.
