Erika Hilton wins reelection with a record vote for a Brazilian woman
EL PAÍS reported on October 5 that trans congresswoman Erika Hilton won reelection with about 1.5 million votes, a record for a woman elected to Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies. The report also describes a more conservative incoming Congress.
Her result strengthens visible trans representation. It does not enact new protections or remove the serious violence and practical barriers trans people face in Brazil.
