Abstract
In this paper, I propose an analysis of the 2010s in Brazil based on two events that took place in the field of Human Rights in the country: the election of deputy Marco Feliciano for the presidency of the Federal Chamber's Human Rights and Minorities Commission (CDHM), in 2013 and the creation, in 2019, of the Ministry of Women, Family and Human Rights (MMFDH) under the command of Damares Alves. The two facts, read respectively as rupture and re-reading, disclose a correlation of forces that suggests how the Human Rights agenda legitimizes and enhances a given religious agency in the current national political scenario. This scenario, I argue, becomes viable from the discourse against the “gender ideology” in the field of institutional policy in the country, which supported the deepl changes that took place in the course of that decade.
