Marília Arraes advocates for women's rights and political autonomy

Marília Arraes, a Senate candidate from the PDT party, advocated for increased female political participation and expanded protections for women during a Frente Popular event. Arraes emphasized that female representation must translate into concrete policies regarding financial autonomy, equality of opportunity, and protection against violence.

Key proposals include prioritizing access to childcare to support working and studying mothers, as well as allocating parliamentary amendments to expand the protection network. This expansion would include more specialized police stations and 24-hour service availability. Arraes also highlighted the need for professional qualification and education focused on violence prevention from childhood.
