This article investigates the struggle waged in the discursive sphere regarding the representation of human rights in Brazil amidst a scenario of deteriorating efforts to safeguard these rights and the subsequent resurgence of a progressive political project. Similar to other countries, Brazil has witnessed robust political antagonism in recent years. This antagonism is a reflection, but also a driving force, of disputes across various realms: the imposition of a far-right Christian conservative agenda on the one hand and broad resistance, not only in politics, on the other. In this context, we aim to analyse the significance of human rights in ministerial inaugural speeches, identify the social structures that must be overcome to ensure these rights, and determine the beneficiaries of public policies to safeguard human rights in the analysed texts. Employing the concept of intersectionality as a key analytical tool for critical discourse analysis, it was possible to identify discursive strategies around the meanings of human rights
