Awareness

Recently, the Electoral Court launched a national radio and television campaign to warn of the increasing incidence of political gender-based violence. One of the most famous cases was that of State MP Isa Penna from São Paulo, who was harassed by a colleague from Parliament.

“Through this episode, I became a reference point for other women suffering from various types of violence. It is important that other voices are heard in this struggle. We need investment to identify types of violence against women and how to tackle them through appropriate public policies. The matter is more serious than one might think, ”the MP said during the launch of the campaign.

The Ombudsman at the Prosecutor’s Office is a specialized open channel for strengthening prevention, protection and referral to specialists to investigate cases of domestic violence and all forms of violence against girls and women, who also receive speeches on a variety of topics.
