Overview

Empirical legal study reveals gaps between statutory hiring mandates and verifiable contract data in Brazilian procurement, highlighting the necessity of intersectoral tracking.

Key Points

To examine the institutional conditions under which a statutory gender-responsive public procurement mandate reserving jobs for domestic violence survivors becomes verifiable in practice.
Conducted an empirical legal analysis evaluating four evidentiary layers: an audit of 163 records, a corpus of 74 documentary units, a comparative matrix of 67 cases (335 evidence records), and official aggregate administrative data.
Assessed implementation of Brazil's federal procurement mandate established under Law No. 14,133/2021 and regulatory Decrees No. 11,430/2023 and No. 12,516/2025.
Analysis of the 67-case comparative matrix identified 16 cases with high documentary density across all four dimensions, five with partial intersectoral integration, and 51 that were not verifiable via documentary proxies.
Official aggregate data documented localized implementation involving 20 women, alongside a subsequent administrative report of 143 women hired across five federative units that lacked contract-level granularity.
Contractual enforceability, intersectoral connectivity, and protected verifiability were identified as necessary institutional preconditions to transform legal mandates into monitorable procurement practices.
