She said the campaign created controversy in the country. Affirming that professionals and managers of the public health system criticized it.

During an interview with Correio Braziliense newspaper, Damares warned that there is a bill in the Senate that could reduce the minimum age for consensual sex.

The minister said that if the State does not take action on the matter, the situation can be “aggravated” and could lead to a sort of “legalization of pedophilia.”

«It is a matter of health and biology»

They think I want to impose moral or religious behavior … nothing further from that, I am talking about a matter of public health, of biology,” said Alves, explaining the importance of teenagers having their first sexual experience later .

For all this it is necessary, she said that the State “take command of the situation; we will talk with the boys to delay sexual initiation »in a campaign prior to the next carnival.”

Damares Alves is a declared enemy of what she calls “gender ideology” just like President Jair Bolsonaro.

«A 12-year-old girl is not ready to be possessed»

Currently the age of sexual consent is 14 years. “In the halls, there was already a talk, among the advisers, of the possibility of submitting an amendment to reduce the age of consent to 10. What are you doing with that? The pedophilia is legalized. So, I have to react, ”she said.

She explained that the intention of the Ministry is to “prevent” a tragedy in the country and that the campaign she drives will not generate any additional cost for the government.

«We have to think about delaying the age of the beginning of sexual relations in Brazil, to avoid a tragedy. How can we delay? Then everyone criticizes, there is a specialist who says that I will harm the child ».

«I ask: what harm will I do to a child when I say:« wait another year »,« wait a little? ». We will not eliminate the other preventive methods. Let’s keep talking about condoms, talking about the pill, talking about the other methods ».

«What we want, here in the list of methods (contraceptives), is to present one more. Do not stay now. Wait a little more. How much will the federal government cost? Not a penny, ” she said.

It is a demand of the family. The argument I am looking for is: a 12-year-old girl is not ready to be possessed.”

“If you prove to me, scientifically, that the canal of a 12-year-old girl’s vagina is ready to be owned every day by a man, I stop talking now,” said the minister.

The National Plan for the Prevention of Early Sexual Risk is framed within the policies on “customs” defended by the government of Jair Bolsonaro, promoter of an ultraconservative moral agenda supported by powerful evangelical cults.

According to data from the World Health Organization, Brazil has a high teenage pregnancy rate, above the average for Latin America. In the country, of every 1000 adolescents between 15 and 19, 68.4 became pregnant and had their babies.
