The federal government highlighted that the initiative is pioneering, marking the beginning of the inclusion of the specificities of these women in services such as Disque 100, which receives reports of human rights violations, and Ligue 180, which provides assistance for cases of violence against women. Recently, 180 operators of these services were trained to deal with LGBT+ issues.
The agreement provides for:
– Updating protocols for monitoring and following up on complaints via the following channels: Dial 180, Dial 100, the National Human Rights Ombudsman’s Office and the General Ombudsman’s Office of the Ministry of Women.
– Creation of technical standards and specific protocols to defend the rights of LBTI women.
– Exchange of data and information on good practices.
Bel Sá, deputy secretary of the National Secretariat for the Rights of LGBTQIA+ People, highlighted the transformative potential of the agreement. “As a lesbian woman from the outskirts of São Paulo, it is an honor to represent this population in an agreement that aims to make a difference in the lives of so many women who are waiting for more inclusive public policies,” she said.
