Abstract

This article examines the role of female federal deputies in advocating for the rights of women and LGBTQIAPN+ groups through the Congressional Bills (PLs) introduced in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies between 2019 and 2022. The research aims to classify and analyze feminist and anti-feminist agendas in the PLs proposed by Brazilian female federal deputies. The study employs a qualitative approach, using document analysis techniques on 127 PLs. The findings reveal that anti-feminist actions aim to obstruct LGBTQIAPN+ rights and reverse general women's rights, while feminist actions have minimally addressed women outside the cisheteronormative framework.
