In Goiânia, efforts to address violence against women have manifested through both private sector initiatives and public infrastructure projects. Construction firms in the region have begun launching awareness campaigns, such as theater-based programs, to educate workers on legal protections. These actions follow reports of a 113% increase in femicide cases in Goiás during the first half of the year compared to 2025.

Concurrently, the municipal government has announced the resumption of construction for the Casa da Mulher Brasileira in Setor Goiânia II. The facility is intended to provide legal, psychosocial, and security services, along with temporary housing and economic support for women experiencing violence. The project had faced significant delays since 2020, leading to the termination of a previous contract in late 2025. A new engineering firm has been selected for the project following a bidding process.
