The Brazilian Woman's Party [12] [13] (Portuguese : Partido da Mulher Brasileira, PMB) is a social conservative political party in Brazil which uses the number 35. [14] Known for its non-feminist and anti-abortion stance, the party is not represented in the National Congress. [15]

The PMB was founded in 2015 by Sued Haidar, who doubled as the president of the party's National Committee. [16] At its peak, the party was the tenth largest in Congress, [17] represented by 21 federal deputies in the Chamber of Deputies, [16] only two of which were women, [17] and one representative in the Federal Senate, Senator Hélio José. [17] All later switched to other parties. In 2017, the party was condemned by the Superior Electoral Court of Minas Gerais for not having the minimum quota of women candidates. [18] Most of the deputies have since left the party, and José switched his party affiliation to the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party in March 2016. [19]
In January 2017, the PMB had 38,438 members. [20] As of July 2018, this number has grown to 42,619. [20]
On 2021, the party attempted to change its name to "Brasil 35", a modification made to attract the Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro after he left his original Social Liberal Party and failed to create his own Alliance for Brazil, [21] [22] and mark the transition of the party to conservatism. [23] However, in April 2022, the Superior Electoral Court refused the name change, on the basis that "the change of the party's name to “Brasil”, [...] would have intense potential to generate confusion or mislead the electorate."
