In late 2026, initiatives led by Paraíba First Lady Camila Mariz focused on female empowerment and social welfare in the state of Paraíba, Brazil.

In September, the plenary session ‘De Mulher pra Mulher’ (From Woman to Woman) was held in Esperança to discuss political participation and the strengthening of women’s roles in public policy. 

By October, the focus expanded to include health and social support through the ‘Outubro Rosa’ (Pink October) breast cancer awareness campaign. Activities included a lecture titled ‘A Força do Cuidado’ (The Strength of Care) in Itaporanga and the launch of prevention activities at the Senador Humberto Lucena State Emergency and Trauma Hospital in João Pessoa. These efforts emphasized early diagnosis, humanized medical care, and regional investments in health and education.
