The political party participation of women's in Brazil has been a struggle assumed by women with the objective to ensure their insertion on a space of power and decision as a way to secure the representativeness on this segment, that constitutes more than 50% of the Brazilian population. In order to contribute on the thematic about the role of women in political party´s, and in the debate on the defense of their rights, we propose, through this work, to analyze the performance of the female representatives in the state of Paraíba, elected in the 2014 election, how their propositions, contributed to guarantee and defend women´s right in the State. For this, we searched the political trajectory of the parliamentarians verifying the possible articulations with the social movements, in specific with the one of women and feminist; we evaluated how the insertion of the deputies in party politics in Paraíba occurred; We analyzed the proposals of the state representatives elected in the 2014 election, aimed at defending and guaranteeing women's rights and relating them to the demands on The First State Policy Plan for Women (PEPM). As a way of subsidizing the subject COSTA(1998;2005); FERREIRA(2006); RABAY e CARVALHO(2010); LIMA(2014;2016); PETINELLI(2010) e SANTIAGO et al (2012 e 2013). The research had as a methodological axis the qualitative approach. The proposal was developed with two types of research: first, documentary, with consultation of documents in the Legislative Assembly Support System (SAPL) of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Paraíba on the proposals of the parliamentarians referring to the first three semesters of mandate, i.e. the year of 2015, and the first half of 2016; And, as well, the analysis on the First State Plan of Public Policies for Women as a way of articulating the proposals of the deputies with the demands placed on this. The second type of research was through obtaining the data through an interview with the deputies, guided by a semi-structured script. From our study, the results pointed to an incipient performance of the deputies, through their proposals, focused on the defense and guarantee of women's rights in Paraíba, because of the 605 proposals presented only 50 were directed to women, out of these 23 were honors and the others mostly with directions that do not meet the demands placed on the First PEPM.
