Heloísa Helena Lima de Moraes Carvalho (Portuguese pronunciation: [eloˈizɐ eˈlenɐ ˈlimɐ dʒi moˈɾajs kaʁˈvaʎu]; born 6 June 1962 in Pão de Açúcar, Alagoas) is a Brazilian nurse, schoolteacher, and politician, member of the political party Rede Sustentabilidade. She is the Brazilian woman to have received the third highest voting in a presidential race, ranking behind Marina Silva and Dilma Rousseff in 2010.[1]

In 1998, she was elected Senator for Alagoas. Then a member of the Workers' Party, but in 2003 was expelled from the party.[2][3] The following year, she was one of the founding members of the Socialism and Liberty Party.[4] In 2013, she helped found the Rede Sustentabilidade Party.[5]

In March 2022 she was amongst 151 international feminists signing Feminist Resistance Against War: A Manifesto, in solidarity with the Russian Feminist Anti-War Resistance.[6][n. 1]

Notes
