Sara Winter

Sara Fernanda Giromini (born June 18, 1992), known as Sara Huff and previously Sara Winter, is a Brazilian activist anti-feminist and right-wing politician. She was the founder of the Brazilian variant of the Femen group, but after the second half of 2013 she worked in her own group, BastardXs. As of 2015, she joined the "Pro-Woman group", at the same time that she started to fight against the agendas she once defended, including the social construction of genders, feminism and the legalization of abortion, defending since then political positions linked to the right and conservatism. Winter was a candidate for federal deputy for the Democrats in Rio de Janeiro in the 2018 elections, failing to get elected. In 2019, she was coordinator of maternity policies at the Ministry of Women, Family and Human Rights of the Bolsonaro government, which she defends. In 2020,Winter became the leader of 300 do Brasil, a pro-Bolsonaro activist group that organized demonstrations against the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and the National Congress.Researchers have argued that the group drew inspiration from European fascist movements, citing its paramilitary aesthetics anti-democratic and tactics of political intimidation. In June 2020, Winter was temporarily arrested by order of the Supreme Federal Court as part of an investigation into the organization and financing of anti-democratic acts.
