Who Is Dilma Rousseff?

Dilma Rousseff is a Brazilian politician and economist, renowned for being the first woman to serve as President of Brazil. During her presidency, Rousseff focused on economic stability, job creation, and reducing extreme poverty. Internationally, she advocated for a foreign policy based on human rights and collaboration among emerging powers, notably consolidating the BRICS group.

What is her Background?

Dilma Rousseff’s political journey began in the 1960s, when she joined movements resisting Brazil’s military dictatorship. This early activism led to her imprisonment, where she endured torture for three years.

In 2011, she assumed the presidency of Brazil, where she implemented progressive economic policies that reduced unemployment and improved the minimum wage.
