Sumario:A summary of the constraints from searches performed by the ATLAS experiment for the electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos is presented. Results from eight separate ATLAS searches are considered, each using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton data at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during its second data-taking run. The results are interpreted in the context of the 19-parameter phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model, where R-parity conservation is assumed and the lightest supersymmetric particle is assumed to be the lightest neutralino. Constraints from previous electroweak, flavour and dark matter related measurements are also considered. The results are presented in terms of constraints on supersymmetric particle masses and are compared to limits from simplified models. Also shown is the impact of ATLAS searches on parameters such as the dark matter relic density and the couplings of the observed Higgs boson. The Higgs boson and Z-boson ``funnel regions'' where a low-mass neutralino would not oversaturate the dark matter relic abundance are almost completely excluded by the ATLAS Run 2 constraints. Example spectra for non-excluded supersymmetric models with light charginos and neutralinos are also presented.
