UMAR/50 years: Problems of women from 50 years ago persist today, says founder

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 09:07

UMAR (União de Mulheres Alternativa e Resposta) celebrates 50 years of existence. The founder of the organization, Maria Idalina Rodrigues, considers that the problems that affected women five decades ago continue to persist today.

According to the founder, gender equality and women's rights continue to demand struggle, education and mobilization from everyone.

The celebration of UMAR's fiftieth anniversary thus serves as a moment of reflection on the progress made and the challenges that still remain in the fight for women's rights.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal learn that, according to the founder of UMAR, the issues of gender inequality and discrimination that existed five decades ago remain largely unresolved, which underscores the need for continued social mobilization. This message, issued in the context of the anniversary of an organization with 50 years of existence, reinforces the call for education and struggle for women's rights as current priorities.

Indian prime minister calls on BRICS for a roadmap to reform global governance

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called at the BRICS summit in New Delhi for a roadmap to reform global governance, arguing that the current structure functions as a pyramid where power and decision-making are concentrated at the top, while affected countries lack the capacity to influence. Modi outlined three axes for reform — representation, responsiveness, and norm-making — and stressed that the reform of the United Nations Security Council "can no longer be postponed," demanding negotiations with set deadlines. India, which holds the rotating presidency of the bloc, sought to position BRICS as a platform for reforming the international system and not as a confrontation alliance, arguing that the Global South should cease being merely a recipient of norms to participate in their development.
