The Brazilian Woman's Party[11][12] (Portuguese: Partido da Mulher Brasileira, PMB) is a right-wing political party in Brazil which uses the number 35.[13] Known for its non-feminist and anti-abortion stance, the party is not represented in the National Congress.[14]

The PMB was founded in 2015 by Sued Haidar, who doubled as the president of the party's National Committee.[15] At its peak, the party was the tenth largest in Congress,[16] represented by 21 federal deputies in the Chamber of Deputies,[15] only two of which were women,[16] and one representative in the Federal Senate, Senator Hélio José.[16] 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.[17] Most of the deputies have since left the party, and José switched his party affiliation to the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party in March 2016.[18]

In January 2017, the PMB had 38,438 members.[19] As of July 2018, this number has grown to 42,619.[19]

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,[20][21] and mark the transition of the party to conservatism.[22] 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."[23]
