Segup conducts training for the Pró-Mulher Pará with the Municipal Guard of Belém
A total of twenty security agents and representatives from the Women's Secretariat of Belém (Semu) participated in the program
On this Tuesday (12), the State Secretariat of Public Security and Social Defense (Segup), through the Directorate of Public Policies and Social Prevention (DPS), conducted another training session for the Pró-Mulher Pará Program. In total, the program included twenty agents from the Municipal Guard of Belém (GMB) and representatives from the Women's Secretariat of Belém (Semu). With a total of eight hours of training, the program also included the delivery of thirteen certificates of appreciation for the GMB's work in combating violence against women in Pará.
According to Delegate Ariane Melo, director of the DPS, reviewing the principles of the project is one of the most fundamental parts for maintaining the work done in assisting victims of domestic violence, especially during the month of August, which has the August Lilac campaign that marks the creation of the Maria da Penha Law. "Revisiting some concepts of violence itself, the forms of assistance, the new means available, such as the public security professional who works on the street, as he needs to be prepared, and above all, have the necessary information to offer to potential victims of aggression," she concluded.
Case Analysis - The course, in addition to explaining the role of Pró-Mulher in public security forces, also conducted a data survey from Belém, based on the number of reports made in the neighborhoods. The mapping also outlined the profile of the victims, showing which age groups are more susceptible to violence, as well as a study on the profile of the aggressors.
Since its inception, the program has assisted more than eleven thousand women in situations of violence, in addition to qualifying over 1,700 professionals to work in 23 municipalities and in the Mosqueiro district.
For Pâmela Rafaely Câmara, a Municipal Guard agent who participated in the training and received the certificate, she emphasizes how the expansion of the work done is essential to ensure life and assistance in the services provided. "Every day, there are many women who need to be attended to, and this training we do is important for us to know a little more about the program, how to treat these women with empathy, with love. We have been working a lot, as the Municipal Guard, and it is important because there are many women we help out of this cycle of violence," said the agent.
Women's Secretariat - In addition to the training of security agents, the program also included members of the Women's Secretariat of Belém (Semu) to present the work being developed.
Dhyellem Sacramento, health coordinator of Semu, believes that the integration between the secretariats is essential to create an impact and work, from the ground up, in assisting women and reducing violence rates.
"There is a lot of talk about sexual violence, rape, and physical violence, but there are many other types of violence that we sometimes overlook, and it is important for us to know so that we can truly direct these women, welcome these women, and maintain a flow and a network of assistance and support for these women as well," concluded the coordinator.
