The Party of the Brazilian Woman (Portuguese: Partido da Mulher Brasileira, PMB) is a right-wing political party in Brazil which uses the number 35.[1] Known for its non-feminist and anti-abortion stance, the party is not represented in the National Congress.[2]
The PMB was founded in 2015 by Sued Haidar, who doubled as the president of the party's National Committee.[3] At its peak, the party was the tenth largest in Congress,[4] represented by 21 federal deputies in the Chamber of Deputies,[3] only two of which are women,[4] and one representative in the Federal Senate, Senator Hélio José.[4] Most of the deputies have since left the party, and José switched his party affiliation to the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party in March 2016.[5]
In January 2017, the PMB had 38,438 members.[6] As of July 2018, this number has grown to 42,619.[6]
Recently, the party has changed its name, and is now known as "Brasil 35", a modification made to attract the Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro.[7]
