Diploma Bertha Lutz Explained

The Diploma Bertha Lutz (Bertha Lutz Diploma), also known as the Prêmio Bertha Lutz (Bertha Lutz Prize), was established by the Federal Senate of Brazil to recognize women who have made contributions to the defense of women's rights and gender issues in Brazil.[1] It is named in honor of the Brazilian biologist and feminist leader Bertha Lutz.

The award was established by a 2001 resolution, based on an initial 1998 draft resolution presented by Senator Emília Fernandes.[2] It is given annually during a special session of the Federal Senate as part of events for International Women's Day on March 8. Government entities or nongovernmental organizations can nominate candidates for the Diploma, and the nominations pass through the Board of the Federal Senate. The winners are selected by the Diploma Bertha Luz Council, composed of one representative from each political party within the Senate. The award traditionally recognized five women from different areas of expertise, although that number has increased in recent years.
