Her on-air claim of financed attacks draws calls for evidence.
Overview
- In a TV Cultura interview, Erika Hilton said far-right social accounts paid to boost hostile posts and cited a dossier naming elected officials as funders.
- News coverage of the interview noted she offered no public proof to substantiate the financing claim.
- She said the uproar shifted attention away from the commission’s agenda on digital safety for women, women’s health, neonatal care, and childbirth.
- She criticized uneven enforcement of a Supreme Court ruling that treats transphobia and anti‑LGBTQ bias as the crime of racism.
- Hilton, the first trans woman to lead the Chamber’s women’s rights commission, kept the role and pressed schools for clear protocols after a reported rape case in Sorocaba.
