Expansion of women's defense police services in Brazil

Overview

Municipalities in Brazil continue to expand and utilize specialized police services for women. In Guarujá, the local Women's Defense Police Station (DDM) is scheduled to begin 24-hour operations on October 16 to improve access to assistance for victims. This expansion is a collaborative effort between the municipal government and the State Secretariat of Public Security.

Recent enforcement actions in Guarujá, supported by the ‘Protege Mulher’ program, have involved the Municipal Civil Guard responding to domestic violence alerts and managing individuals subject to judicial protective measures. This program was recently utilized in an intervention involving a 71-year-old woman and her son.

Other municipalities report sustained activity in crime prevention and public safety. In Ribeirão Pires, the first DDM, ‘Delegacia de Defesa da Mulher Dra. Maria Sidney Midolla’, provides centralized assistance following a 30-year demand. In Três Rios, the Municipal Guard has maintained high productivity, including ‘Maria da Penha Patrol’ interventions. Meanwhile, São José’s municipal guard reported over 18,000 actions across nine months, including arrests and vehicle recoveries.
