Supreme Court Justice Cármen Lúcia proposed the creation of electoral brigades for female candidates in the 2026 elections. The proposal was presented during a keynote lecture at UFRGS on April 24 and would function similarly to the Maria da Penha Patrol, offering rapid response in risk situations.
Cármen Lúcia served as president of the Superior Electoral Court during the 2024 municipal elections, an experience that motivated her proposal. The Maria da Penha Patrol is a specialized service of the Military Police or Municipal Guard that monitors protective measures for women victims of domestic violence, offering humanized care and preventing aggression.
