2026年3月20日、パト・ブランコ市議会が、これから付ける通りの名前の半分以上を女性の名にするよう義務づける条例を可決した。20 March 2026 — The council of Pato Branco makes it compulsory for at least half of all future street names to be women's names.

On 20 March 2026, at an extraordinary session, the municipal council of Pato Branco gave second-reading approval to a bill requiring that, of any future names given to roads and public spaces, at least half be the names of women. The measure is Bill No. 201 of 2025.

It is added as a clause to the town's 2004 law on the criteria for naming public places and roads (Municipal Law No. 2,347 of 15 June 2004); from now on, any naming bill must give at least fifty per cent of its names to women.

The bill was proposed by councillor Anne Gomes, of the Social Democratic Party.

The same session passed six other measures, among them a 3.36 per cent pay adjustment for municipal staff, tied to the price index; the handing out of turbans to oncology patients; a register of carers for the elderly; and rural waste collection.
