Highlights of CESE Women’s Month of March Programme include an Infomercial on TVE and an Exhibition at the Castro Alves Theatre
23 de March de 2016Published on: 7 March 2016
During March, CESE joined the schedule of television channel TV Educativa da Bahia. Infomercials “For the Rights of Women” are composed of one-minute videos (broadcast between TVE’s programmes) showing statements about life stories, the experiences and struggles of the women CESE supports, as well as data about the socio-economic reality of Brazilian women, evidenced in the way that gender inequalities, patriarchy and machismo still form part of the structure of Brazilian society.
Produced by CESE and supported by TVE, “For the Rights of Women” presents eight videos to be broadcast during March and April (two per week). The infomercials tell the stories of women such as Ana Alice de Oliveira, from the Indigenous Association of Women from Serra do Padeiro (BA); Ana Martins Gualberto, Projects Advisor of Koinonia Presença Ecumênica; and Maria Madalena de Santana from the Movement for Rural Women Workers from the Northeast.
Art has the power to put society in touch with stories about struggle and achievement in the field of human rights, inviting reflection and solidarity. CESE approached this partnership with TVE through culture, in order to raise the profile of the struggle of women from various sections of society, giving voice to populist movements and thus fulfilling the basic principle of its mission: to strengthen civil society organizations, particularly populist ones, engaged in the struggle to transform the economic and social policies that provide the structures in which democracy with justice can prevail.

Exhibition at the Castro Alves Theatre

Between 8th and 14th March a series of events are scheduled at the TCA, including the exhibition “Women: the Promotion and Equality of Rights”, which presents the struggles of the women CESE supports throughout Brazil: indigenous women, quilombolas, rural workers, activists, young women, political administrators and black women.
Anyone who passes through the Theatre Foyer will enter the world of women such as Valdecir Nascimento, the Executive Coordinator of Odara – the Black Women’s Institute; Juvana Petyrhara from the Xakriabá people of Minas Gerais; and Makota Valdina, who addresses the issue of religious intolerance, and others.
