On October 20th, CEPIA was present, represented by Mariana Barsted, at the Tribute Webinar to Ruth Bader Ginsburg – Supreme Court of the United States, promoted by the Permanent Forum on Biolaw, Bioethics and Gerontology of the Rio de Janeiro School of Magistracy of January.
Ruth Ginburg, the oldest Supreme Court judge in the United States (1193-2020) was an advocate for women’s rights, civil liberties and the rule of law and played a central role in changing federal and state laws that limited women’s performance in American society based on gender, under the pretext of protecting them. Ruth Ginsburg passed away in September of this year, a cancer victim, at the age of 87.
