In 2010, the Federal Government implemented the National Policy for Technical Assistance and Rural Extension (PNATER), qualifying and reorganizing the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension (ATER), services in Brazil. Rural women, while being included in the policies of basic social assistance to the family, remained invisible and had no access to information and their rights. In order to report the different forms of violence suffered and to claim their rights, women intensified their self-organization in social movements, holding marches, participating in conferences and manifestations in the countryside and in the city. The demands presented to the Ministries of the Federal Government since the beginning of the 21st century were decisive for the then Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA), in partnership with the Special Secretariat for Policies for Women (SPM) and the Women Policy Directorate Rural and Quilombola (DPMRQ) (Quilombola refers to the descendants of the enslaved people, who live in rural, suburban and urban communities), to build public inclusion policies for rural women, which resulted in the creation of the Sectorial Policy ATER Especific for Women. With this partnership, the Institution Office of Rural Planning (ESPLAR) - Research and Advisory Center, won the ATER Public Call for Rural Women no3 / 2013, with the Agroecology and Feminism project. This experience occurred in the Territory Sertões de Canindé - Ceará. Given this socio-political context, this research presents a professional experience in the area of ATER Specific for Women, identifying the implications of this type of assistance in the lives of rural women, as well as establishing a historical analytical construction of ATER in Brazil. It also shows an evolutionary framework of public calls for Women launched and accessed in the State of Ceará from 2009 to 2016. For this we use bibliographic and documentary research, such as: the policy documents, the institutional reports of the project, and the reports of the field journals used by the techniques. Thus, based on this study, we verified that women assisted by this Specific ATER were strengthened under the following dimensions of empowerment: psychological, political, economic, sociocultural and interpersonal.
