Iolanda: "There is a misogynist discourse that defends the castration of rights, that women have to submit to men. It has already gone beyond the ridiculous"

Expresso15 September 2026 at 15:59

Iolanda spoke about feminism and attacks on women's rights at Posto Emissor. The participant warned of the existence of a misogynist discourse that defends the castration of women's rights and that women have to submit to men, considering that this narrative has already gone beyond the limit of the ridiculous.

According to Iolanda, being a feminist means defending women's rights, rights that were acquired and conquered through much struggle. The speaker clarified that there is nothing in feminist discourse that defends that men should have fewer rights.

The article comes in the context of a debate about feminism, where Iolanda sought to deconstruct some narratives associated with this movement and reaffirm that the fight for gender equality does not imply the reduction of rights of any gender.

Why this matters

This article addresses ongoing debates about feminism and women's rights in Portuguese-speaking regions, where gender equality remains a contested topic. It matters to readers because it provides perspective on what feminism actually represents versus misconceptions, and highlights the resistance women still face in having their rights recognized and respected.

Italy bets on the Way of Saint Francis and looks to the success of Santiago

Italy will invest around 40 million euros in the project "Cammino di Francesco – Il Cammino della Luce", a pilgrimage route of 1546 kilometres that crosses six Italian regions — Abruzzo, Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Marche, Tuscany and Umbria — with Assisi as the main destination. The project aims to articulate and enhance existing Franciscan routes and gains particular significance in 2026, when the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis is celebrated. Italy looks to the success of Santiago de Compostela as a model to combine spiritual experience, heritage, tourism and economic development of the localities along the way.
