Lospennato presented one of the bills to repeal the law, which was merged with two others by ruling coalition Frente de Todos (FdT) deputies Vanesa Siley and Lucila Masin. “Our present-day makes us reassess those patriarchal stereotypes that translate to the working world as the discrimination that we as women live through and suffer,” said Siley when she addressed the house.

The water crisis is also hitting the local industry, with production hindered by the lack of drinking water and the high levels of salinity in the one currently being distributed by the state water company OSE. The CIU published a poll on contingency plans in factories a month ago, revealing that 69% of companies using OSE water didn’t have an alternative plan in the face of water supply restrictions or service interruption.

Brazil has passed a law mandating companies pay men and women equally for the same position. Companies that fail to pay equal salaries to men and women doing the same work can be fined ten times the value of the salary discrepancy, the law establishes. Brazilian law has required equal pay for men and women since 1943, but the pay gap remains, according to Brazil’s Women’s Minister Cida Gonçalves. Per the new law, businesses must also present reports so that inspectors can check what men and women are paid. There should also be a drive to educate and prepare women for their entry, continuity and progress in the workplace on equal conditions to men.

An Indigenous travesti with jasmines in her dark hair smiles at the world from today’s Google Doodle. She is wearing a poncho lined with the transgender flag and there’s a multitude marching behind her under a rainbow.

The day before, Bullrich had signed an “ethical commitment” to “fight misinformation” during this year’s elections. “If it were true that our universities were populated by migrants, that would be fine because there are no second-class people. According to official information, out of all foreign college students in the country, 95.93% came from the Americas, 2.90% from Europe, and the remaining 1.17% from Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
