The Federal District opened a new 24‑hour "Sala Lilás" shelter for women victims of domestic violence and announced the expansion of the Viva Flor protection app to eight additional police stations.

In Santa Catarina, the fire department began "Operação Alerta Vermelho" in schools, delivering fire‑prevention lessons to more than 6,000 children about gas safety, heat sources and electrical hazards.

Police operations in Espírito Santo seized about 30 g of cocaine and arrested a drug‑ trafficking couple, while a child‑protection unit in the same state held a mutirão to accelerate investigations of abuse cases.

The Federal Prosecutor’s Office in Acre dismissed a fraud investigation into school‑meal contracts, finding no illegal activity after a multi‑year probe.
