Re: [Gendergap] Noiva do Cordeiro
A more credible article about Noiva do Cordeiro, near Belo Vale, Minas Gerais, Brazil, has been done by The Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/brazil/11065364/Inside-the-Brazilian-all-woman-village-desperate-for-men.html It's more of a cultural thing that the men work away through the week so the day to day running of the village (which translates as Bride of the Lamb) is done mainly by women. There is a bit of exaggerating of the whole they just need some men - thing though.

Re: [Gendergap] Noiva do Cordeiro
It's mentioned in as one of the neighbourhoods in this Portuguese Wikipedia article: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belo_Vale saying (in the Google translation) In the village of Bride Lambs has a small manufactures Lingerrie and cleaning products. (Noiva do Cordeiro translates to Bride of the Lamb) That info has been in Portuguese Wikipedia for over a year (just checking in case it was a hoax and Wikipedia had been recently edited to be consistent). There was a documentary made about it which talks about it: https://translate.google.com.au/translate?sl=auto https://translate.google.com.au/translate?sl=autotl=enjs=yprev=_thl=en; ie=UTF-8u=http%3A%2F%2Fbemvindafilmes.wordpress.com%2F2008%2F11%2F10%2Fnoiv as-do-cordeiro-2%2Fedit-text=act=url tl=enjs=yprev=_thl=enie=UTF-8u=http%3A%2F%2Fbemvindafilmes.wordpress.c om%2F2008%2F11%2F10%2Fnoivas-do-cordeiro-2%2Fedit-text=act=url Kerry _ From: gendergap-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:gendergap-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Krystle Sent: Thursday, 28 August 2014 3:55 AM To: Addressing gender equity and exploring ways to increase the participationof women within Wikimedia projects.

My conclusion is that the place is real, and has some kind of interesting history relating to the church and women, but unsure if the Mirror article about the present day demand for men willing to submit to their rules is verifiable.
