89 companies from Roraima responded to the questionnaire. Together, they total 21,258 people employed. The requirement to send data complies with Law No. 14,611, which provides for Equal Pay and Remuneration Criteria between Women and Men, sanctioned by President Lula in July 2023.

When breaking down by race, the report points out that the number of black women is greater than that of non-black women in the companies in the survey, with a record of 5.2 thousand and 3.2 thousand, respectively. However, black women receive, on average, 3.3% less than non-black women. Between black and non-black men, the average pay gap is similar: 3.6%.
The Report also presents information that indicates whether companies have effective policies to encourage the hiring of women, such as flexible working arrangements to support parenthood, among other criteria seen as encouraging women to enter, stay and gain professional advancement.
In the case of Roraima, the report recorded that 50% of companies have job and salary plans; 45.2% adopt policies to promote women to management and management positions; 33.3% have policies to encourage the hiring of women; the same percentage as those that adopt incentives for hiring black women.

Currently, 26.2% have policies to encourage the hiring of LGBTQIAP+ women and 26.2% encourage the entry of women with disabilities. However, only 11.9% have specific programs to encourage the hiring of women victims of violence.
