Sexist Language in Politics in Mato Grosso

Snurb — Thursday 13 July 2023 23:15
Politics | Elections | IAMCR 2023 |

The final paper session at IAMCR 2023 starts with Julia Gabriella Nogueira Munhoz, whose focus is on the culture of sexism directed at women in politics in Mato Grosso, Brazil, which is also part of a broader pattern in Brazilian politics. Mato Grosso has a conservative profile and the highest femicide rate in Brazil.

Sexism directed at women in politics here was examined by recording the personal narratives of women politicians in a podcast. While Brazil does not have an official far-right party, supporters of the Bolsonarist far-right movement can be found across 17 of the centrist and right-wing parties in Brazil’s highly fragmented party system.

Misogynist slurs against women are commonplace in Mato Grosso. Women are reduced to their reproductive role, positioned as less intelligent, and compared to animals.
