Special emphasis will be given to women victims of violence who are part of SMDF projects. The Secretary for Women, Giselle Ferreira, reinforced that the initiative is a way of assisting women in different areas. “We are seeking to strengthen women, providing a space for self-knowledge, balance and well-being. We want them to feel welcomed and empowered to face everyday challenges with more serenity and determination,” she said.
With an estimated audience of 2,000 people over the two-day event, Brasília Zen will also feature a Rural Fair in partnership with the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Company of the Federal District (Emater-DF), with 15 rural producers who will hold an exhibition .
