In Brazil, commemorations and organized gatherings have focused on the visibility and rights of LBTBI women. The observance of National Lesbian Pride Day highlighted historical milestones, such as the 1983 Ferro’s Bar uprising, and featured the Alice Oliveira exhibition at the Museu da Diversidade Sexual to document feminist and LGBTQ+ movements from the 1980s and 1990s.

Following these commemorations, regional and national meetings were held to advocate for public policy changes. In Búzios, a regional meeting addressed the specific challenges faced by LBTBI, Black, and migrant women regarding healthcare, justice, and social protection. Concurrently, the 9th National Lesbian Seminar in Rio de Janeiro marked 30 years since the movement’s first seminar, focusing on intersectional struggles related to housing, education, work, and health.
