Women’s rights and gender equality are taking centre stage in 2020. This year’s theme for International Women’s Day (8 March) is, “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights”. Together, we need to mobilize to end gender-based violence; we have to call for economic justice and rights for all; bodily autonomy, sexual and reproductive health and rights. We want technology and innovation for gender equality; and feminist leadership.

The following video reveals that inequality is old news for working women.

Tomorrow we celebrate the Proclamation of the Republic in Brazil, which represents the end of the monarchy and the establishment of the republic. I think it comes in handy now, to refresh our memories concerning what the Carwash Operation has accomplished.

The Carwash Operation (Operação Lava Jato) began as a local money laundering investigation and has grown into the largest investigation in Brazil. The state prosecutors from the Carwash Task Force have been on the front line of investigations in Brazil since April 2014. Dealing with one of the world’s biggest corruption scandals, the Petrobras case, they have investigated, prosecuted, and obtained heavy sentences against some of the most powerful members of Brazil’s economic and political elites.
