Brazilian municipalities launch anti‑child abuse “Faça Bonito” actions

In Salitre, Brazil, the municipal social protection office and the local CRAS centre organized a week‑long series of activities under the “Faça Bonito” campaign. Events included the “Jardim do Cuidado” dialogue session for women, the “Jardim da Proteção” play‑based workshops for families, and a “Semáforo das Emoções” exercise for children aged 6‑15 to recognize feelings and seek help. The culminating “Dia D” on 18 May featured capoeira circles, community discussions on reporting channels, and expanded emotional‑awareness activities for families, aiming to strengthen protection networks for children and adolescents.

In Manaus, Governor Roberto Cidade attended a “Faça Bonito” mobilization on 20 May at the Ceti Elisa Bessa Freire school in the city’s eastern zone. The event offered educational talks, personal‑defence demonstrations, and distribution of menstrual‑hygiene kits to girls in vulnerable situations. Officials highlighted plans to expand school‑based guidance, personal‑defence training, and legal initiatives to combat sexual exploitation of minors across Amazonas.

Both actions are part of a broader state‑level effort in Brazil to raise awareness, provide resources, and encourage reporting of child sexual abuse.
