Months into the new Brazilian presidency, the work of governing is in full swing. Brazil’s democracy continues to demonstrate its resilience, but one ongoing challenge is how to incorporate women into leadership roles and how to support women’s political activity in and beyond politics.

As part of our yearly #MujeresAtTheTable campaign, it is important to draw attention to how Brazil can reframe the incentives in the political sphere to support women’s greater and more effective participation. As the country looks toward municipal elections in 2024, now is the window of opportunity to advance a more inclusive political system.

Join us on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET via Zoom for the public virtual launch of our report on women’s political participation in Brazil, in partnership with the International Republican Institute (IRI).
