Domestic Politics and Social Movements

The Bolsonaro government initiated radical changes in many policy areas. The turnaround in environmental, economic and social policy gives economic interests priority over the common good, while changes in educational, family and foreign policy are shaped by the government’s ideological rhetoric. The question of equal rights for women is also central to the new neoconservative canon of values. The Painel deals specifically with the changed situation of women in various areas of society since the Bolsonaro government took office.
