On New Year’s Eve, on Avenida Paulista, a woman went to the civil police to report her husband for domestic violence suffered years ago. The case was recorded by the Mobile Women’s Defense Commission (DDM), set up during the event as a traveling reception and protection service.
According to the Public Security Secretariat (SSP), the victim had been in an abusive relationship for more than 50 years and had never filed a complaint with the police. “We registered the complaint and requested an urgent protective measure from the judiciary,” explained delegate Valéria Andreza do Nascimento, who was in the unit.
