Federal civil servants who find themselves in a situation of domestic or family violence now have the guaranteed right to be removed from their workplace when there is a risk to their life or physical or psychological integrity.
The measure was published this Friday (12/12) in a joint decree from the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services and the Ministry of Women.
This right applies to women, regardless of their sexual orientation, as well as to men who engage in same-sex relationships.

Man under investigation for domestic violence threatens judge, arrested
According to the government, the risk can be proven by a court decision, such as a protective measure aimed at keeping the attacker away, prohibiting contact or restricting the carrying of weapons.
Records accepted by the Court, such as police reports or domestic violence arrests, may also be used. However, removal may be granted after an individual analysis of each case, including in the absence of immediate formal proof.
Reporting channels
Calls to reporting and emergency channels, such as the Military Police numbers 180 and 190, can also serve as evidence. The order ensures that the deletion can take place regardless of the interest of the public administration, without loss of the server’s rights or benefits.
The server can indicate possible destination locations, which will be evaluated based on the availability of vacancies. The procedures must be carried out in secret, with priority and rapid processing.
If the violence persists, it is possible to request a new move. And, if the situation is interrupted, the server can return to its original location.
