Semulher closes Women’s Month activities in Brasileia

To conclude the activities of Women’s Month, the State Secretariat for Women (Semulher), through the Specialized Women’s Assistance Center of Alto Acre (CEAMAA), carried out on the morning of this Wednesday, 27th, in Brasileia, the walk for the lives of all women. The event, which took place at the CEAMAA headquarters, brought together students and local authorities and sought, mainly, to raise awareness among the population regarding the need for more public policies for women, as well as combating all types of gender-based violence.

The Secretary of State for Women, Márdhia El-Shawwa Pereira, reiterated the importance of the department being present in all regions of the state. “This action in Alto Acre concluded the activities related to Women’s Month, and this walk took place in both Rio Branco and Cruzeiro do Sul, as we carry out coordinated work with the Specialized Women’s Service Centers (Ceams). Popular participation was extremely important to get the message across regarding women’s rights, reinforcing our government’s commitment to all women.”

One of the students who participated in the event was Camila Aguiar, who reiterated the importance of the action. “Women have the right to be respected, to know about the different types of abuse. I know there are people who think women should only work in domestic services, but I think every profession is beautiful,” she added, highlighting one profession in particular: “I think it’s beautiful to see a female police officer. This shows that we can be everywhere.”

CEAMAA coordinator, Elizabeth de Araújo, emphasized how important activities like the one held this Wednesday are for society’s learning. “We increasingly want to combat violence against women. Unfortunately, we know that this is a very common reality in Acre. Today we were able to show the strength of women,” she said, recalling that any woman from Alto Acre can seek support at CEAMAA: “By looking for us, every woman can have access to a psychologist, social assistance and legal advice. There, everyone will be welcomed.”

The activity included the participation of the Maria da Penha Patrol team, which, during the event, addressed the work carried out by the military police officers of Rio Branco, Acrelândia, Senador Guiomard, Sena Madureira, totaling 25 police officers to complete a nationwide operation that lasted the month of March. “We end here, at this event, with the idea of ​​raising awareness about domestic violence among the population. This is not just a matter for March, but to be carried out throughout the year”, concluded Warrant Officer Francineide Brito.
