[Editor\u2019s note: Maria da Penha, a victim of domestic violence by her husband, fought for her attacker to be condemned and is now a leader of the movement for the defense of women\u2019s rights. As a result, on August 7, 2006, the president of Brazil Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva put into practice the Federal Brazilian Law 11340, now known as the Law Maria da Penha, in which the severity of punishment for domestic violence against women was increased.]<\/p>\n

This morning (August 14), a meeting was held with managers and educators of the municipal school system to present the need to develop activities on the subject with children and adolescents and to elaborate a plan of action.<\/p>\n

Entitled “Maria da Penha goes to School”, the project works on education as the best form of prevention. The City Secretary for Women, Taciana Medeiros, highlights the participation of students as fundamental for building a better future.<\/p>\n

She affirms that “Educating children and adolescents, teaching to respect and live in harmony is the best way to combat violence, we need to invest in the training of conscious individuals.”<\/p>\n

Schools must carry out activities by the end of September.<\/p>\n
