Cida Gonçalves assumes ministerial networks on Women’s Day – 03/08/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

The Minister for Women, Cida Gonçalves, will occupy the Instagram, Facebook and Twitter profiles of a colleague from Esplanada dos Ministérios this Wednesday (8), on the occasion of Women’s Day. The account chosen is that of Minister Paulo Pimenta, from the Special Secretariat for Social Communication.

Initiatives such as the Maria da Penha Patrol, the Woman without Violence program and a project presented by the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) in favor of equal pay between men and women will be some of the topics addressed in the publications scheduled for this Wednesday. .

In an interview with the podcast Café da Manhã, by SheetGonçalves stated that in order to prevent violence against women, society needs to “have an attitude” and the State, “immediately respond” to the complaints.

“Violence cannot be a problem just for women. It belongs to public authorities and society. We have cases in which women die from being beaten so often,” said the minister. “It’s not possible for the State to arrive four hours later, right? Then the woman will already be dead”, he added.

On this International Women’s Day, the government mobilized 19 ministries for a ceremony that will announce more than 20 actions aimed at women. The idea is to give political weight to the date. In the election, Lula benefited from the high rejection of former president Jair Bolsonaro by this part of society.

The previous government was marked by the weakening of policies for women. Data gathered by Sheet in 2022 showed that two-thirds of the actions that benefited them were cut in the 2023 Budget – in some cases, it represented 99% of what had been reserved in the previous year.

All forms of violence against women increased in Brazil in 2022, according to a Datafolha survey carried out at the request of the Brazilian Public Security Forum. The survey ranges from victims of name-calling and threats to those who have been stabbed or shot at.
