This article aims to address "gender empowerment and equity: the current challenges for women in Mozambique". Their political representation can be seen with a continuous process of disputes, controversies and, in recent decades, some progress in terms of formal equality. It means that women currently have the legal right to participate and represent political bodies. Contemporary women, from their achievements in various social, cultural, economic and political aspects, are faced with the need to reformulate their roles in the performance of tasks related to marriage, motherhood, family, sexuality and their career professional. The central objective is to analyze the contributions made by women to their empowerment and gender equity, looking at the main challenges they face today. The contribution of his ideas to Mozambican women is due, on the one hand, to institutional factors such as democratization, gender quotas and electoral systems; on the other, the new women's movements, regional and international, which resurfaced in the early 1990s, marked the debate of the Conference on Women in Beijing. The research is basically theoretical, starting from the bibliographic analysis of the works that deal with the subject, accompanied by the deconstruction that allowed the reading, interpretation and understanding of the texts. As a result, we hope that the text can contribute positively to rethink Mondlane, today, taking into account the idea of emancipation, economic empowerment and gender equity of Mozambican women who had this activist as their main promoter and the first steps in building education for all.

This paper presents an intervention performed with public school first-graders which approached gender equality and girls' and women's empowerment, in order to fight violence against the ones who do not fit into the socially demanded naturalized gender discourses. As a tool to approach such themes, we used children's books, and we performed interactivereflective activities in a range of ten meetings. We analyzed data with the help of Discourse Analysis. We conclude that, by offering spaces to debate and to criticize naturalized speeches in the researched classroom setting, children are able to reflect about inequalities still thrusted on boys/men and on girls/women, and construct alternatives to fight gender inequalities in society. Therefore, we understand that the intervention we performed may be embraced by teachers and other professionals who intend to raise awareness about fighting the exclusion and the violence caused by gender inequality, to encourage the existence of (more) spaces for similar activities, and to spread the potential of such debates.

Moreover, it tries to understand how these documents affect the history of the Ministry of Youth of Belo Horizonte, since 2019, when the rearticulation of this ministry at the archdiocesan level happens. The conclusions show that, despite the identified historical problems regarding the low participation of young people and the invisibility of the young women, the Youth Ministry has started and can favor the reflections about gender equity, women empowerment and their participation, as well as the discussion about masculinity and violence against women. However, such discussion is very recent, and it is necessary to continue the studies on this perspective, in order to understand how the young who participate of this ministry have been assimilating this topic in their daily lives.
