The Ednalva Bezerra Women's Reference Center (CRMEB) in João Pessoa is marking 19 years of operation. Established by the municipal government through the Secretariat of Public Policies for Women, the center provides multidisciplinary support including legal guidance, psychological counseling, and social assistance to combat domestic and family violence.

Nena Martins, the Secretary for Women in João Pessoa, stated that the institution focuses on helping women achieve autonomy and break cycles of violence. She noted a significant milestone, claiming that “no woman served by the center's services has become a victim of feminicide.”
