If the president Jair Bolsonaro menstruated at least once every semester, he would not veto as
vetoed the part of the bill that guaranteed the supply by the SUS of eight pads per month to vulnerable women. He certainly wouldn’t veto it if he didn’t have enough money to buy Michelle’s tampons.
After all, the family always comes first – as long as it’s his, naturally. By the way, remember what he said at a ministerial meeting last year when he wanted to intervene in the Federal Police? He said, looking into the eye of then-minister Sérgio Moro, who then left to resign:
“I’ve already tried to change people from our security in Rio and I didn’t get it. That’s over. I’m not going to expect to get my whole family fucked, or my friend, because I can’t change someone from security. Will change. If you can’t change, change his boss. If you can’t change the boss, change the minister. And period.”
But, unfortunately, the president does not menstruate and dispenses tampons. Wears a diaper. And it has a perverse predisposition against women, gays, blacks, quilombolas, intellectuals and the poor. Faced with the risk of being defeated next year, he runs after money to reinforce the Bolsa-Família that he once hated.
Poor vote, that’s the question. Women vote too, but Bolsonaro’s aversion to them prevents him from seeing that he should treat them very well, if nothing else to attract their support. It’s just among women that his popularity bleeds the most, all voter intention polls point out. There are plenty of reasons for that.
In 2019, he fully vetoed bill 2538 that required services public and private health authorities to notify police stations of evidence of violence against women within 24 hours. He justified that the matter “contrary to the public interest”. The deputies rose up and overturned the veto.
In March now, Bolsonaro refused to sign a declaration of the United Nations Human Rights Council. The document signed by representatives of 60 countries was a commitment to carry out actions on women’s health in the fight against Covid-19 to reduce “historical inequalities”.
On the last day 2, he updated the National Public Security Policy. The program no longer counts the crime of femicide (murder of women caused by gender hatred) in the statistics. And so, it makes monitoring and public policies that could arise from the data difficult.
According to the Institute of Socioeconomic Studies, the Bolsonaro government cut by 51% the resources of 2021 for the Casa da Mulher Brasileira. In 2020, houses used to house women in situations of violence received 124.3 million. This year, the funds released were 59.8 million.
Between 2019 and 2021, inspired by Bolsonaro, conservative deputies who follow him unconditionally presented seven bills to the Chamber. law that criminalizes the termination of pregnancy even in the cases now admitted – among them, abortion due to sexual violence. Is it enough or do you want more?
More than four million young people do not have access to basic hygiene items in schools Brazilian women when they are in their menstrual period. One in four of these menstruating girls miss classes because they don’t have access to them, an access that will become even more difficult after Bolsonaro’s latest act of stupidity.
In addition to young people, women living on the streets or in situations of extreme social vulnerability, in addition to inmates, and interned in units to comply with socio-educational measure. There would be 5.6 million women contemplated in the end. At what price?
With the floor, Congresswoman Celina Leão (PP-DF), coordinator of the women’s bench of the Chamber and voter of Bolsonaro:
“If 84 million is a lot of money to give girls and women a minimum condition, then the government has to rethink the way it treats girls and women from this Brazil. We set the values in the Budget. If you can buy toilet paper for schools, why can’t you buy tampons?”
It just so happens that tampons for Bolsonaro , you know Celina… Or to put it another way: for Bolsonaro, you know Celina, absorbent… No, never mind. With the floor, Congresswoman Tabata Amaral (PSB-SP):
“The almost complete veto of Bolsonaro to the project of The tampon law is an attack on the dignity of the most vulnerable girls and women. Everyone needs to take a stand against this absurdity. It is urgent that Congress overturn this veto!”
