Sunday has the 2nd stage of the WHORE

Sunday, September 8th, has the 2nd qualifying stage of PUTAÇA - Women's Amateur Futsal Championship organized independently by PEITA, with the support of Coletivo Cássia, the lesbian and bisexual arm of Grupo Dignidade. The 12 teams face each other from 3 pm, before that there is a brief presentation about the project and a chat between the athletes. The games are at Clube da Bola, in Rebouças, and admission is free.


The dispute began on August 24 and was divided into three stages, the first two qualifying and the last, elimination. The first and second placed teams in the three groups plus the two best teams in the third places will compete for PUTAÇA, the bitch cup in the shape of a pair of breasts, on September 22nd. This year the model was Luisa Cat, player of Helenão, winning selection of the first championship. This year's winners define among themselves who shapes the 2020 award.



Here's how the result of the first stage turned out:

( • ) PARTY

After the games, the get-together will take place at Espaço 37 with a concert by Laís Duarte and the band. Entry costs R$5 and there is vodka with energy released between 5pm and 6pm.

( • ) WHORE + BOWL = WHORE

Like the other brand-protest actions, the name of the championship is already a provocation. “In our society, whores are women who dare to be who they want to be, who question, break with imposed stereotypes and fight for equity in all social structures. Dividing women into saints and whores is one of the ways the white supremacist patriarchy submits women to its oppressions and keeps them docile and obedient”, comments Karina Gallon, founder of PEITA.



The first edition of PUTAÇA took place last year in Curitiba and brought together about 100 players, divided into 11 teams, plus the public that crowded the court to watch the games. Before the matches, exchange circles were held between the participants to find out about the difficulties they face in practice.

The cup, a pair of breasts, and the medals, ceramic nipples, are made by artist Julia Lana. Her project “Retratos Rotos” claims the female presence through the teats as an object of study and art, recovering what at some point was 'denaturalized' and objectified. The 2018 winning team, Helenão, chose the player who was the mold for this year's cup.

During the first event, the phrase “Play like a girl” was launched, which Brazil won in June and July, during the 2019 World Cup. “More than a catch phrase, it is a confrontation phrase. Each person who wears the phrase on their T-shirt or socks reframes it within their struggle context”, reinforces Gallon.

Peita was born on March 8, 2017 with the phrase "Fight like a girl" invading the streets of Curitiba in the demonstrations of International Women's Day - March 8M. The protest brand fulfills the mission of bringing controversial sayings from the context of demonstrations to everyday life, providing a discussion on the anti-racist feminist movement. PEITA is a tool for coping with oppression that provides dialogue and each person who uses it, reframes it in their struggle context.

Today PEITA has 30 phrases, of which 70% are partnerships with movements, institutions and social projects, women who are in militancy and/or companies that are committed to the fight against oppression. In these cases, the profit or part of the production is donated to fund causes.
