Political Violence & Impunity

The normalization of hatred, the normalization of political or other forms of violence against women.

Taking up arms never solved any problem.

Mr. President, Members of the Chamber of Deputies, the bill, as set out in its summary, intends to protect against gender-based political violence.

But when you read the text, you see there are some jabutis in it, for example the inclusion of special protection and privileges, in reality, for leaders who will be placed above ordinary citizens.

Once again, Mr. President, under the noble, just and worthy pretext of promoting protection for women, there are passages that are absolutely subjective and outside the scope of the matter that grant the privilege of police escort and attention from the MPF to people who are part of certain NGOs — privileges I see no reason for — and also a curtailment of freedom of expression on social networks and, once again, especially regarding gender identity, which is why I instruct against it and request a roll-call vote, Mr. President.

You enter a mayoral campaign with one of the candidates, to avoid using any adjective here that I sometimes get carried away with, saying that your father killed himself because of you.

Women candidates have their children attacked at school.

Today we salute our ancestors, we salute our dean, our teacher Deputy Benedita da Silva, but we also salute Lélia Gonzalez, Beatriz Nascimento, Carolina Maria de Jesus, Sueli Carneiro, Tereza de Benguela, Xica Manicongo, Marielle Franco, who was brutally executed in a Brazil that still kills, persecutes, attacks, and violates the bodies, history, territory and dignity of Black women in this country.
