Brazilian lawmaker slammed for wearing cleavage-baring red outfit to swearing-in ceremony
The lawmaker from the southern state of Santa Catarina caused a furor in the country when she was sworn-in on February 1 in a red outfit that accentuated her breasts
The 43-year-old Brazilian state representative who sparked outrage online for wearing a red jumpsuit with deep cleavage for her swearing-in ceremony has clapped back at her critics, saying "women have breasts" and the society needs to get used to women being in politics.
The lawmaker from the southern state of Santa Catarina, Ana Paula da Silva, caused a furor in the country when she was sworn-in on February 1 in a red outfit that accentuated her breasts. The 43-year-old, who previously served two terms as local mayor in the city of Bombinhas, received the fifth largest number of votes in last year's state assembly election.
