Women in Portugal once faced severe legal and social restrictions, unable to vote on equal terms, pursue many professions, or make key decisions without their husband's consent. The 25 April 1974 Revolution marked a turning point, expanding women's rights and opportunities in education, politics, and the workplace. This documentary examines the progress made over the past five decades while highlighting the challenges that remain, including the gender pay gap, unequal representation in leadership, and the unequal distribution of unpaid care work. Through the testimonies of women and men who have championed gender equality, it explores the achievements, ongoing struggles, and the steps still needed to build a more equal society.
