Abstract:

This research aimed to analyze how the young deputies elected in 2022 align with the agenda of gender, sexuality, and reproductive rights amid the rise of conservatism. To this end, we adopted a qualitative methodology based on document analysis, considering the data provided by the Chamber of Deputies. The variables considered for the research scope were: age between 21 and 29 years, political party, bills submitted in the current legislature regarding gender, sexuality, and reproductive rights. Based on these criteria, we identified 18 young deputies and 46 bills. The results showed that young conservative deputies are the majority among those under 30, and they propose more restrictive projects concerning sexual and gender freedom. Although young progressive deputies are a minority, they have submitted more bills on gender and reproductive rights but avoid more sensitive issues, focusing on policies to combat violence and sexual harassment.
