Em entrevista exclusiva ao No Ataque, a jogadora disse que não considera que ‘levanta bandeiras’, mas ressaltou que acha importante se posicionar em prol de causas para que o respeito prevaleça na sociedade.

“Por mais que a gente já tenha dado passo a frente nessa luta da igualdade das mulheres, o Brasil ainda é um pais machista. Eu não gosto de levantar bandeiras, gosto de fazer tudo com muita leveza, porque não acho que a minha verdade é a verdade única. Gosto de expor que existem maneiras das pessoas serem reconhecidas, serem felizes e das pessoas respeitarem, sendo nas causas raciais, causas LGBTQIA+”, disse Gattaz.

A atleta de vôlei ainda pregou que gosta de encorajar mulheres. Carol Gattaz é assumidamente bissexual e defendeu que o principal na luta de gênero é a conquista da independência.

00:00 Carol, now, asking a little bit outside the volleyball court,
00:05 in another answer you even commented about inspiration.
00:08 And who follows you, I think, entering your social networks,
00:11 you can see, I imagine that in your DMs, even more,
00:14 but even in the comments, in the YouTube comments, here in the chat,
00:17 we see the comment of many women, girls, volleyball fans,
00:21 who want to play volleyball, who are inspired by you,
00:23 who have you as a reference figure in volleyball.
00:28 You are an active figure in social networks
00:31 and who fights for many causes.
00:34 I think for feminism, for women, for women's rights,
00:38 encouraging women to practice sports,
00:40 and even for LGBT causes, for example.
00:43 Do you think that raising this flag is important for the fight?
00:49 How do you see it? Is it really part of your life?
00:52 Is it something you like to do and feel responsible
00:57 for taking this action to other women, girls, etc.?
01:03 I think so. I think because,
01:05 even though we have already taken steps forward
01:09 in this fight for women's equality,
01:12 unfortunately Brazil is still a sexist country.
01:15 I think the whole world is still sexist.
01:17 But I say that I don't like to raise flags.
01:20 I like to do everything very lightly.
01:23 Because I don't think my truth is the only truth.
01:26 I don't think your truth is the only truth,
01:28 neither yours nor yours.
01:30 I like to say that there are ways for people
01:34 to be recognized, to be happy,
01:36 and for people to respect, in any way,
01:39 be it racial causes, be it LGBTQI+ causes,
01:44 be it any kind of causes.
01:46 I say that if there were more love and respect for people,
01:51 regardless of class, even social,
01:55 I think the world would be better.
01:57 I like to expose this.
01:59 Because, thank God, I am an independent woman.
02:02 I have my job, I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend,
02:06 so I don't depend on a partner, a husband, a wife.
02:10 I don't depend on anyone.
02:12 I want to encourage and show that women have this strength.
02:16 Women don't need to be married to anyone,
02:18 or be with someone, or be with someone else,
02:20 to be an active person in the world.
02:23 And more than ever, I say "we women",
02:26 I still represent another category of women,
02:29 women over 40 years old.
02:31 A few years ago, they were considered,
02:34 imagine, 40 years ago, 15, 20 years ago,
02:37 they were considered old.
02:39 Wow, 40 years old.
02:41 Nowadays, no. Nowadays you can do anything.
02:44 Not that it wasn't possible years ago,
02:46 but today you see more active people
02:49 at 40, 50, 60 years old.
02:51 70 years old. My mother is 70 years old,
02:54 and it seems she is 50, she is very young.
02:57 I say that there are no limits.
03:00 And I like to fight for these causes.
03:02 For example, what makes me happy, I talk about inspiration.
03:06 When I came back from the Olympics,
03:08 what made me happy, actually,
03:11 were women over 40 years old,
03:13 who came to me and said,
03:15 "Carol, thank you.
03:17 Thank you for being this example for us."
03:20 Because I was at home, sometimes doing nothing,
03:23 and today I came back to volleyball.
03:25 And it's not professional volleyball,
03:27 because that's not the goal, but I came back to play volleyball.
03:30 Imagine, you at 40 years old at the Olympics,
03:32 why can't I play volleyball?
03:34 Thank you. And it wasn't just one or two,
03:36 there were several women who came to me.
03:39 So, for me, it's a very gratifying thing.
03:42 And I joke that one of my main goals,
03:46 and for me to want to be at the Olympics,
03:50 is once again to break barriers.
03:52 Because if I'm at the Olympics, I'll be 43 years old.
03:56 And that's very rare. I don't have that at volleyball.
03:58 I was the oldest at the Tokyo Olympics.
04:01 Now, much older.
04:02 Maybe I'd be the oldest at the Olympics.
04:05 So, I think we don't have to...
04:08 First, we don't have to have barriers.
04:10 I think it's impossible to have an opinion, for me.
04:13 And more than ever, these causes I like to talk about
04:18 and I position myself, it's because of that.
04:20 I think people have to live the way they think is best.
04:23 They think they'll be happy.
04:26 We see so many things happening in the world nowadays,
04:29 that I think the respect, a little empathy
04:32 for each human being, I think the world would be a little better.
04:35 And each turtle's step, we'll be able to
04:39 go up a little more in these rights that women
04:42 have, just like men, for sure.
04:45 -Yes. -Go ahead.
04:47 Since you have positive comments, obviously, supporting you,
04:52 you receive many negative comments, hate speech,
04:56 we see that a lot on the internet.
04:58 How do you deal with that?
05:00 Oh, I do. People have a short memory.
05:03 It's funny because, thank God, I receive very little.
05:08 These types of comments.
05:11 I try to absorb them in the best way possible.
05:13 But, of course, we are human.
05:16 When we see some comments, we get sad.
05:20 But, mainly, some comments like,
05:23 "You're too old, retire soon, why are you going to be in the national team?"
05:27 "Oh, grandma, I'm going to be in the national team."
05:29 And I laugh, because I say,
05:32 at the same time I get sad because people have a short memory.
05:36 Until a year ago, people were congratulating me
05:39 for the achievements we had in the Olympics,
05:41 which I think was the big milestone of everything.
05:43 But I'm still performing.
05:46 So, I get sad about that.
05:48 But, at the same time, I have so many positive things,
05:52 that all this negativity, for me,
05:55 I'm putting aside with the positives that come,
05:58 which are much more.
06:00 So, I try to put it aside.
06:03 *laughs*
