Check out our partner Tatiana Del Giudice Cappa Chiaradia’s participation in an article by Folha de S.Paulo last Saturday, which addresses how women’s issues are still a minority in discussions about tax reform in Congress.

Taxation rises proportionally to the increase in the tax base. The greater the tax base – the value of the economic movement that caused the taxation – the greater the value of the tax demanded on it.”
