This study aimed to examine the possibilities for empowerment of women living in the countryside through their participation in the spheres of political representation, such as rural workers unions. Examined whether participation in this sphere of political representation could be more important for the empowerment of the family farmers that indicators such as income, education and property ownership. To this end, we adopted a comparative perspective by listening to women unionized and non unionized, living both in the field or in the city. The research started from two assumptions: first, assumed that the participation of rural women in trade unions constituted a form of empowerment, able to promote a process of redefinition of their position in public spaces. The second, assumed that women's participation in a collective organization as the union of rural workers would be able to change gender relations within the family, leading to greater empowerment for women. The survey was conducted through a survey, with interviews, consisting of open and closed questions. 193 questionnaires were used: 97 women and 96 with non-unionized unionized. After the questionnaires took place in the data processing software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), subjecting them to the descriptive analysis and frequency. It was identified that unionized and non unionized achieve empowerment in different spheres. The first had indicators of empowerment in the public sphere while the latter showed indicators related to empowerment in the private sphere.
