Diversity, Inclusion and Gender Equity in the
Forest Management and Fire Prevention Program in Brazil
Women make up more than half of Brazil’s population and
account for 47 million (~50%) of the labor market. Despite these
numbers, women are still underrepresented in many sectors:
they occupy 37% of leadership positions in private companies;
only 15% and 13%, respectively, are federal Representatives and
Senators; and only 12% of cities have women as mayors. The
fewer women there are in leadership positions and in politics, the
lower the representation and scope of their interests and needs.
Coupled with that, men’s wages are, on average, 24% higher
than women’s who hold the same position. Furthermore,
Brazilian women dedicate, on average, 10.4 hours/week more
than men to household chores and caring for family members
(for example, children and the elderly), a type of work
characterized as “domestic” and unpaid. As a result, women
dedicate less time to professional improvement relative to men.
The fewer women in mixed gender work teams, the less likely
women are to excel in their roles and positions.
In Integrated Fire Management (IFM), women face similar
challenges, whether in coordination roles or technical and
operational ones. In Brazil, specifically, Solis and colleagues1
identified that there are no regulations or guidelines that
promote multiculturalism and gender equity in the processes of
hiring forest fire brigades. Although gender equity in IFM is
recognized, in Brazil this debate is still informal and poorly
documented.

Text I
Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting
Extends Beyond Wildfires
Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the
accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires. However, there
are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire
service, including new hazards and medical emergencies,
emerging training challenges, population migration, and
technology developments.
Climate change is often discussed as a future event. However,
the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how
climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and
emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.
The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can
be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires.
Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe
to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less
rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.
