Rapid Scoping Review 2025: Brazil

The Brazilian government made significant strides in advancing rights for women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex and more (LGBTI+) people since 2000. However, in 2016, President Dilma Rousseff was impeached in a parliamentary coup and Michel Temer, her former vice-president and a centre-right politician, took over as president. During his administration, there was a systematic rollback of policies aimed at promoting gender equality. This document studies key actions and strategies employed by seven feminist and LGBTI+ organisations to counter rollback in the country.
