Mothers have a day to call their own on the Brazilian calendar: it is the second Sunday in May, which this year falls on the 14th. A 2015 survey by Instituto Data Popular estimated that 67 million women in Brazil have children . Hoje é Dia starts the week by rescuing, from the archives of Empresa Brasil de Comunicação (EBC), content that talks about the universe of motherhood. Issues such as maternal mental health, teenage motherhood, double shifts, late motherhood, atypical motherhood, women who leave for single-parent adoption, breastfeeding, puerperium, women’s rights at the time of childbirth, mothers in the labor market, maternal death and deconstruction of the idealization of motherhood have already been discussed by Agência Brasil, Portal EBC, Rádio Nacional and TV Brasil. The program Entre o Céu e a Terra, on TV Brasil, presented how the figure of the mother is seen by different religions and mythologies: But there was a time when pregnant women were not seen with deference, much less exalted by the strength of the female body of giving birth and giving birth: until the beginning of the 20th century, pregnant women were treated as patients and pregnancy was not talked about in public. This is what the episode about motherhood on the program Na Trilha da História, on Rádio Nacional, tells. Historian Mary Del Priore, who wrote a book on the history of women in Brazil, details how society’s understanding of pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, motherhood and child rearing has changed over the centuries: A Voz se cala This Sunday (14), it will be 25 years since the death of Frank Sinatra. He died in 1998, victim of a heart attack. Frank Sinatra’s career numbers show his size for world music: 13 Grammys, more than 500 million records sold, 31 Gold Records, 18 platinum records, 1,800 recordings, star of more than 50 films and 170,000 people in the Maracanã show, a performance that put him in the Book of Records. Hoje é Dia brings three special programs about Sinatra, who became known as The Voice: Momento Três, from Rádio Nacional, reconstructs the artist’s trajectory, presenting three iconic songs from his repertoire: Night and day, I’ve got you under my skin and Água de bebe, from the album he recorded with Brazilian Tom Jobim: In this edition of Saudades do Século 20, from Rádio MEC, Ruy Castro focuses on Sinatra’s heyday – which, for Castro, “it was the greatest of all; the one that needs no introduction”: Finally, Jazz Livre! explores the “jazzistic” side of Sinatra, who, with impeccable diction, instinctive mastery of phrasing and a natural swing, put several works in the jazz drawer: May 15th is International Family Day, a date established by the United Nations (UN). And family is the theme of the work O arroz de palma, by Francisco Azevedo: the text Family is a difficult dish to prepare, which is in the first chapter of the book, gained viral proportions on the internet, and even today provokes reflections on what family is. Listen to what the author says in this episode of Trilha de Letras, on Rádio MEC: É Tudo Brasil, on Rádio Nacional, also dedicated an episode to families: in this case, the families of the musical universe. The program brings a conversation with the Gilsons, a band formed by José, Francisco and João, respectively son and grandsons of Gilberto Gil. In addition, the soundtrack is full of songs sung by artists from the same family: Causes of society On Wednesday (17), the cause remembered is the fight against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia. On May 17, 1990, the World Health Organization (WHO) deleted homosexuality as a mental illness from the list of pathologies in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In 2015, Caminhos da Reportagem, from TV Brasil, spoke about cases in which the sexual orientation of the victims motivated violence and about the intolerance that the LGBTQIA+ population still faces: Two other dates of the week, both on May 18, came from the mobilization to face problems in Brazilian society: the National Day to Combat Abuse and Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents and the National Day for the Anti-Asylum Fight. Last year, Hoje é Dia explained the origins of the dates. The campaign to end sexual abuse and exploitation of children and adolescents has gained a name, color and extends throughout the month: it is Orange May. A little bit of the history of the fight for changes in the way people with mental disorders are assisted was told in this episode of Na Trilha da História, on Rádio Nacional: Check out the weekly list* of Hoje é Dia with dates, historical facts and holidays: 14th to May 20, 2023 14 Death of American singer and actor Frank Sinatra (25 years old) Death of businessman from Rio de Janeiro Octávio Guinle (55 years old) – founder of the Copacabana Palace Hotel Independência de Israel (75 years old) Mother’s Day 15 Sanction of the Fan Statute by President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva (20 years old) International Day of Latinity – celebration of Latin countries, instituted by representatives of 36 Latin countries, with the aim of preserving the different national identities and their linguistic and cultural communities International Day of the Family – the celebration of the day aims to highlight the importance of the family in the structure of the family nucleus and its relevance in the basis of early childhood education; reinforce the message of union, love, respect and understanding necessary for the good relationship of all the elements that make up the family; draw the population’s attention to the importance of the family as the vital nucleus of society and its rights and responsibilities; raising awareness and promoting knowledge related to social, economic and demographic issues that affect the family 16 Death of the Rio de Janeiro guitarist Mariuccia Iacovino (15 years old) 17 Death of the São Paulo writer Zélia Gattai Amado (15 years old) International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia – celebration to mark the date of May 17, 1990, in which the World Health Organization decided to remove homosexuality as a mental illness from the list of pathologies registered in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders World Telecommunications and Society Day of Information, popularly known as World Internet Day – instituted on May 17, 2005 at a UN General Assembly in Tunisia, with the aim of highlighting the possibilities offered by new technologies to improve the standard of living of peoples and citizens 18 Nascimento by the Mato Grosso military and former president of Brazil Eurico Gaspar Dutra (140 years old) International Museum Day – commemoration instituted in 1971 by the International Committee of Museums, with the aim of raising public awareness of the importance of museums in our current society Day National to Combat Abuse and Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents – celebrated in Brazil, according to Law Nº 9.970 of May 17, 2000, to mark the date of death of the eight-year-old Brazilian girl, Aracelli Cabrera Sanches Crespo, who disappeared from school where she studied and who was raped and murdered in a heinous manner in the Brazilian city of Vitória-ES on May 18, 1973 National Anti-Asylum Fight Day – commemoration of Brazil, which is made official by law in some Brazilian cities, to mark the date of elaboration from the final document of the “1st National Conference on Mental Health” in Brazil, held on May 18, 1987, which then proposed the reformulation of the mental health care model for Brazilians 20 Birth of the filmmaker from Ceará Luiz Carlos Barreto (95 years old) – producer of several national films Patenting of jeans by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis (150 years) *The dates are selected by the team of researchers from Projeto Efemérides, from the Collection Management of Empresa Brasil de Comunicação (EBC), which brings themes related to culture , history, science and personalities, always highlighting national and regional landmarks.
