Brazilian courts and security agencies roll out violence‑prevention training programmes
The Mato Grosso State Court (TJMT) began a five‑day facilitation course for about 100 judges, officials and social‑service professionals aimed at reducing domestic violence against women. The program stresses reflective groups for perpetrators and active community‑based prevention.
The National School of Magistrates (Enfam) held a session at the National Council of Justice (CNJ) in Brasília, briefing new judges on the council’s administrative role, strategic goals and programs such as civil‑registry access for vulnerable populations.
In Bahia, more than 300 police, firefighters and technical staff are completing a hybrid human‑rights formation at the Instituto Anísio Teixeira to prepare for the 2026 São João festivals. The curriculum covers protection of children, persons with disabilities, LGBTQI+ people, women and measures against racism and religious intolerance, and introduces an “Inclusive Patrol” for people with disabilities.
The Assembly’s Women’s Prosecutor’s Office (PEM‑ALMT) joined the Justice‑Without‑Borders expedition in the border town of Vila Picada, delivering legal‑rights talks and counseling to residents who otherwise have limited access to the protection network.
Finally, judges and faculty from the Escola Superior da Magistratura de Mato Grosso and the Federal University of Rondonópolis organized a dialogue on legal education in primary and secondary schools, seeking concrete actions to curb school‑yard violence through interdisciplinary cooperation.
