Sound good?
Thank you very much and let's get to the video.

I see quotas as a transition to address inequality.

She said, maybe your daughter, your niece who's being born now won't need them; when she reaches adulthood she'll have that equality.
Desconhecido
It's more or less like that — we need to remove the prejudice against quotas; it's really a transition.
Desconhecido
We can imagine that in 20 years this will really be...
Desconhecido
Wow, how absurd, as we were talking here on the batidor.
Desconhecido
Yeah, we needed that.

Anyway, it's about the advancement of women.

I wanted a little bit of that...
Yesterday I was in a conversation, a debate with law students.
Then a young man stood up and said, let me ask you a question.
It already exists, companies are concerned about this, there's self-regulation — do we really need a law?
And I answered him: yes, we do, because I want to see this change in my lifetime.
I think he was kind of taken aback; I said, let me tell you something, I have to check this information, but I think it's a statistic from the World Economic Forum, and I'm pretty confident about the data: that it will take us more than 100 years to have equality between men and women in politics.
When I look at that data... I say, yes, I know we're making progress.
What were we talking about?
90 years ago I couldn't, as a woman, vote or be elected.
30 years ago I couldn't have a credit card without my husband's authorization.
Until 2009 there was no women's restroom in the Senate.
I know we're making progress, but I won't tolerate the idea that it will take 100 years.
That's too long!
I want to see this in my lifetime.
So, why reserved seats?
Because, yes, change is happening, but it's very slow.
And what is the most effective way to speed up that change?
It's to say, fast-forward a few years — it will have to happen.
And then people will get used to it, and what Carol brought — those women will start to become known.
Just one opportunity, people, and the game changes.
So I agree that it's temporary, I don't know for how long, and I think every quota policy has to be reviewed, and it really has to have a deadline so we can understand whether it's still necessary, but I think it will still be a few more years.
And that in 10 years we might discover that we still need another 30 years, not 90, you know?
Desconhecido
And there's a provision here in the law, in your bill that was approved and became law 15.177 of 2025, that the law will be reviewed in 20 years.
Desconhecido
That provision is precisely to see whether quotas are still needed?
Exactly.
This is perhaps a somewhat more principled point, but I really see any quota policy, whether racial, social, or gender-based, as a temporary policy to accelerate these processes.
And each law has its own timeframe.
This one seemed to us that 20 years was reasonable to come back and ask, is it still necessary?
