Tabata Amaral: What guides our struggle, our day-to-day politics, is this perception that guides my stubbornness, of which you are witnesses.
Tabata Amaral: And of all my stubbornnesses, of all our struggles, one of the things that moves me most is to remove, one by one, the barriers that women face every day and that many pretend not to see.
Looking at my trajectory in this Chamber, together with our women's caucus, I speak with great pride about the advances we have already made: guaranteed sanitary pads so that no poor girl misses class; paternity leave extended, because caring for a newborn is not a favor the father does, it is a right and an obligation of both; women on the boards of some of the largest companies in this Country, because competence has no gender, no sex, and it is high time that power in Brazil learned this; and the Women in History Law, which places the trajectory and perspective of women in our school curricula.
Tabata Amaral: A girl who does not see herself in a book thinks that that world is not for her.
Tabata Amaral: And we do this not out of privilege, but out of reparation and collective intelligence.
