Patrícia Lélis - Gender Ideology and Feminism in Brazil


Listen Later

Patrícia Lélis is a Brazilian radical feminist and former congressional journalist who has been repeatedly harassed and threatened with death for speaking about issues that impact women and for criticizing the sex industry. She has been maligned by Brazilian political parties on both the right and the left, and recently experienced a campaign of targeted harassment and death threats for opposing sex self-identification, citing the recent incident at LA's Wi Spa, and was even called a criminal by her own political party, PT, who issued a statement denouncing her.
