The debate on empowerment of gender perspective has emerged as an important issue in the field of public policy. This thesis aims to analyze the dimensions of empowerment achieved by women in rural communities in the municipality of Barbacena-MG, from participation in public policy from the federal government, Program Food Acquisition (PAA). The issue in this research undertaken by PAA related recognition of the condition of women farmers, registered with the commercial practices established by this policy, for with it, investigate whether the PAA promotes the empowerment of women in the public and private sectors, and reflect and analyze the contribution of public policy in the processes of change in the relations between women and men in rural communities, where the dimensions of these changes without losing considering the peculiarities of that city, with its historical origin founded during the empire of Brazil, whose legacy patriarchal brand till today social relations, reinforcing gender inequalities. The research came from two hypotheses: H 1 - Participation of women socialized in a rural society, marked by a political culture with centralized command power, would result in the slow transformation of his posture of submission and passivity, even through their participation in trading activities and public recognition of its status as a producer and H 2 - The possibilities of empowering women farmers would be related to social opportunities such as business education, health, and economic participation. Thus, the PAA would constitute a form of public and private empowerment for women who participated in it, due to the expansion of their economic autonomy and greater control of their citizenship status. The research was conducted through a survey with semi-structured interviews with open and closed questions, and questionnaires: IQ for the 67 farmers; Q II for the 32 farmers and Q III for a 5 extension. The surveyed data were analyzed statistically via software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The hypothesis of this dissertation I was proven, once we identified the strength of patriarchal culture, the work of farmers surveyed viewed as aid and not work, and they do not have any control or access to funds, from the sale of its products. The hypothesis was refuted II since the analysis of the prospects of public empowerment showed that this was not achieved by the farmers surveyed barbacenenses.
