With the approval of the president (-PB), the misogyny project will begin to be discussed next week and should be voted on in plenary in June, before the parliamentary recess. The proposal will be analyzed by a working group coordinated by the deputy (-SP).
“We will pursue this goal (fighting) by discussing, listening to all parties, so that the misogyny bill can also be approved, giving this House yet another demonstration of the commitment to giving our women the conditions to live in a safer country”, stated the president in a press conference this Tuesday (28).
Motta met in the early afternoon with Tabata Amaral to define the project’s progress schedule.

Furthermore, practicing, inducing or inciting misogyny will become a crime punishable by imprisonment for one to three years and a fine, which may be increased if there is use of social media or attendance at sporting, religious or cultural events.
The text also specifies that the judge must consider as discriminatory any attitude or treatment that causes embarrassment, humiliation, shame, fear or undue exposure, and that would not usually be given to other groups.
Punishment for misogynistic insult is one of the points contested by Bolsonarists. “This law mainly punishes speech, it is control”, said deputy Bia Kicis (PL-DF) to Sheet at the end of March.
Amaral considers the project urgent: “We know that this starts with verbal aggression”, he stated in a video after meeting with Motta.
