Empowering women through Conditional Cash Transfer programmes: A case study of the Bolsa Família programme in Brazil

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
93% of the participants of the Brazilian Conditional Cash Transfer Programme is female. This makes the BFP an interesting case study because it raises the question if the programme has had an impact on the empowerment of its female beneficiaries. The main question that has been answered in this thesis is, therefore: Has the Bolsa Família programme empowered its female beneficiaries or has it reinforced traditional gender stereotypes?
