Among the commemorative dates worked in the Early Childhood Education, we choose the 'Women's Day', given the effervescence of various issues experienced and suffered by women in the various social sectors, to discuss the historical and cultural relevance of March 8 th, when celebrates 'International Women's Day'. It is a theoretical text whose objective is to problematize the absence of reflection in the pedagogical referrals within the educational units. Fact that culminates in the passive and uncritical acceptance of discourses and stereotypes that propagate discrimination and violence. We intend with the writing of this text to collaborate for the re-signification of the pedagogical work, fomenting new perspectives to focus on curricular elements that consider the child as participant of the educational process on a critical bias. The moments of work, in Early Childhood Education institutions, need to be committed to providing experiences that aggregate knowledge, identify elements of the culture, society in which children are inserted and broaden their perspective and capacity for reflection to make them think about how things are and how they came to be that way.
