The State Secretary for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Célia Leão, and First Lady Bia Doria participated this Monday (15) in the virtual launch of the “TODAS in-Rede” program, which aims to promote the empowerment and emancipation of women with disabilities in the state of São Paulo, in order to break the cycle of exclusion and violence.
The online event was held via a live broadcast on the social media channels of the Secretariat for the Person with Disabilities.
“The TODAS in-Rede program was born out of the need to empower women with disabilities. We are certain that this brings about a fairer society, which is what the Government of São Paulo strives for,” highlighted Secretary Célia Leão.
The goal of the TODAS in-Rede program is to give a voice to women with disabilities and bring relevant information focused on the following themes: work and income; prevention of violence; affective and sexual rights; education and leadership.
“It is very important to bring this issue into the discussion. We in the Government are creating more and more actions for people with disabilities,” emphasized First Lady Bia Doria.
With the actions planned in the program, a virtual network of women with disabilities will be established to bring them out of years of invisibility, seeking unity and a sense of belonging for women with disabilities.
PROGRAM ACTIONS
The program features several strategic actions to achieve the goal of uniting women with disabilities, aiming for female leadership within the segment. Among the main actions are:
- distance learning course on providing care to women victims of violence, intended for professionals from Women's Defense Police Stations and the Protection Network;
- accessible, informative, and interactive website, featuring reporting channels, interviews, articles, and a directory of addresses for the women's protection and care network;
- social media communication campaigns and cross-sector coordination to guarantee alternatives for the financial autonomy of women with disabilities.
