Celebrating International Women’s Day

The Brazilian women got the vote in 1932. In Brazil, from 513 members of the lower house of parliament, only 72 of them are women. However, Brazil has already had a female head of state: Dilma Rouseff (2011-2016)

Two great achievements of Brazilian women were:

Ÿ the right to vote (Bertha Lutz-1932)

Ÿ the right to be protected from men’s domestic aggression (Maria da Penha)

So women in Brazil haven't achieved the same rights as men, however they have achieved some very expressive things.
