The Brazilian Woman's Party[8] [9] (Portuguese: Partido da Mulher Brasileira, PMB) is a right-wing political party in Brazil which uses the number 35.[10] Known for its non-feminist and anti-abortion stance, the party is not represented in the National Congress.[11]

The PMB was founded in 2015 by Sued Haidar, who doubled as the president of the party's National Committee.[12] At its peak, the party was the tenth largest in Congress,[13] represented by 21 federal deputies in the Chamber of Deputies,[12] only two of which were women,[13] and one representative in the Federal Senate, Senator Hélio José.[13] 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.[14] Most of the deputies have since left the party, and José switched his party affiliation to the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party in March 2016.[15]

In January 2017, the PMB had 38,438 members.[16] As of July 2018, this number has grown to 42,619.

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,[17] [18] and mark the transition of the party to conservatism.[19] 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."[20]
