This article analyzes the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and women's agency on civil and political society in their confrontation in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The article is structured in three sections. The first one analyzes the impacts of the pandemic on women and presents specific data about Rio de Janeiro. The second section investigates the specific impacts on women in the slums and presents actions to confront civil society. Finally, the third section evaluates the action of state deputies in the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro and in the City Council of Rio de Janeiro. Data on legislative production in both houses and interviews with favela leaders in the city were used. It is concluded that, in a scenario where the Executive Power was often absent, women in civil society and in parliament lead the main initiatives to combat the perverse effects of the pandemic.
