From November 12 to 14, CRT-03 welcomed representatives of the CFT/CRTs System to Recife for the 1st Meeting of the FVMT, dedicated to strengthening the role of women technicians and promoting gender equity.
The event featured inspiring lectures by social worker Kadja Camilo, from Casa Rosa, on women’s health and self-care, and by CRT-ES counselor Adriana Neto, who addressed female entrepreneurship and overcoming professional challenges.
During the meeting, the 4th Ordinary Session of the Forum was also held, with discussions on the Internal Regulations, concrete actions for 2026, and the Manifesto for Quotas.
Among the achievements, the measure approved by the CFT stands out: a 90% discount on annual fees for technicians on maternity leave, including self-employed professionals and those temporarily inactive.
The event concludes this Friday (14) with the launch of the campaign CRT-Mulher 2026: Women Technicians in Action – We Are All Innovation, reinforcing the commitment of the CFT/CRTs System to the recognition, leadership, and appreciation of women technicians.
CRT-03 Leads National Effort to Empower Women Technicians
History of CRT-03
For more than four decades, Brazilian industrial technicians mobilized in pursuit of professional recognition and the establishment of their own regulatory body. This collective effort built upon the foundations laid by Law No. 5,524/1968 and Decree No. 90,922/1985, which first defined and organized the profession. The long-standing movement advanced through persistent advocacy, institutional dialogue and the dedication of technicians across the country who sought not only formal acknowledgment of their technical expertise, but also a structure capable of guaranteeing ethical practice and qualified service to society.
This historical trajectory reached its landmark moment on March 26, 2018, with the presidential sanction of Law No. 13,639/2018, creating the Federal Council of Industrial Technicians (CFT) and its Regional Councils, including CRT-03. The new framework inaugurated a modern regulatory era, strengthening public trust, enhancing professional dignity and recognizing millions of technicians as essential contributors to Brazil’s economic and technological development. Building on this legacy, CRT-03 continues to uphold its mission of protection, qualification and promotion of the industrial technical profession.
