Lula campaigns in Belo Horizonte and highlights gender equality policies

President Lula, a PT candidate for re-election, campaigned in Belo Horizonte.

Lula participated in a meeting aimed at women, in the central region of the city. He said he wants to expand public policies that guarantee equal opportunities between men and women, and highlighted the National Pact to Prevent Femicides, created during his current mandate.

The candidate cited measures adopted for health, social assistance and housing, and said that education will be a priority if he is re-elected.

"Full-time school, not just for the child to spend the whole day at school, learning art, learning culture, learning dance, learning everything they want. Learning environmental policy, learning at school that men are not stronger than women, that men are not more important than women."

In the early afternoon, President Lula headed to Brasília. The candidate for re-election had no other campaign commitments on his agenda.
