Casa do Brasil promotes online session to present support space for Brazilian women

The Casa do Brasil in Lisbon is hosting an online information session on Wednesday 11 November at 15:00 to introduce the 'Espaço Mulher Brasileira' (EMuB), a service created by the Brazilian Consulate in Lisbon to support women with rights, gender-based violence, and discrimination. Participation is free, but requires prior registration, and the access link will be sent by email to participants by the end of Tuesday 10 November.

Why it matters

If you are a Brazilian woman living in Portugal, this session offers a way to learn about available legal, safety, and discrimination support services that you may not have been aware of.
