Law 11,635 instituted a national observance against religious intolerance on 21 January, the date associated with the killing of Mãe Gilda of Ilê Axé Abassá de Ogum after public attacks on her faith. The law gave national recognition to a struggle in which African-derived religions had faced defamation, violence, and unequal protection. An annual observance can create space for memory and organizing, but its purpose depends on enforcement, public education, and protection for communities facing attacks. The law date was 27 December; it was published the following day.
