The 1994 Brighton declaration marked a turning point for women in world sport. Women were able to communicate their needs and develop an intelligent, achievable agenda with precise, egalitarian, and equitable objectives, held under the auspices of the United Nations Assembly (UN) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Likewise, women’s participation in international and national events has increased and a balance is actively sought. The objective of this paper was to identify textual and conceptual similarities and differences in the axes, objectives, strategies, and actions of the 4 six-year terms of federal governments, employing a cognitive comparative perspective. For this, the National Development Plans, Pro-equality/equity Plans and the National Physical Culture and Sports Plan from 2000 to 2022 were reviewed. With this paper, the value and evolution of these plans can be recognized, for the following issues: mainstreaming of a gender perspective in the government structure, strategic actions, visibility and mention in institutional documents, harmonization of national and state laws and regulations, government calls for the integration of women into sports life and decision-making, and supervision by international organizations, such as the UN and the IOC. This path allows to infer that public policies from 2000 to date have strengthened women’s sports participation and their arrival in decision-making positions in the institutional sector. However, it is not conclusive in specifying the weight of each period, nor specifying the association with actions or programs. What is useful is to recognize the gradual inclusion of actions in each period and how this generates an increasing visibilization and presence of women athletes in public programming.
