Women’s Secretariat Parade Highlights Representation and Inclusion at Teresópolis Carnival

The Teresópolis Carnival featured a parade organized by the Women's Secretariat to promote representation and inclusion, showcasing the participation of the Serra Trans Collective.

The Teresópolis Carnival, held in Brazil, highlighted the themes of representation and inclusivity through a parade organized by the Women's Secretariat on the night of February 13. This initiative not only celebrated the carnival spirit but also emphasized the importance of public policies directed at women's rights in the municipality. The parade aimed to strengthen the voice of diverse groups within the community, highlighting the diverse spectrum of womanhood and femininity.

One of the notable participants was the Serra Trans Collective, invited by Secretary Katia Borges. This group is dedicated to the protection, guidance, and support of trans women and travestis from the Serrana region, working to foster dialogue between social movements and government entities. During the event, activist Giovanna Venture stressed the significance of visibility, respect, and the necessity for more inclusive public policies that acknowledge and support all identities within the women's community.

Sports Secretary Érika Marra also participated in the event, emphasizing a united commitment to defend and enhance the position of women in the city. The parade thus not only served as an entertainment event during the carnival but also as a vital platform for advocacy and dialogue about women's rights, encouraging continued efforts to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all women in Teresópolis.
