The female vote, key to the final line of the elections in Brazil
In the final line of the election campaign in Brazil, the female vote is one of the decisive factors. Women represent more than half of the electorate and their support was key in the last elections. However, challenges such as gender-based violence and low political representation of women, with only 18 per cent of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies occupied by women, remain. While an important part of the evangelical electorate identifies with the right, more and more women seek religious spaces with more progressive positions. The report is from us.
