Brazil's First Lady Janja Leads Anti‑Femicídio Campaign in Piauí

First Lady Rosângela "Janja" Silva traveled to Teresina, Piauí, to attend the launch of the Brazil Pact against femicide. The event is part of the ruling PT's strategy to deepen support among female voters, amid a rise in femicide cases nationwide. Janja's visit follows similar stops in Ceará and highlights the government's focus on gender‑based violence.
