Women's Protection: Learn How to Access Services Offered in the Salvador Carnival Circuits

The article details the various support services available for women's protection at Salvador's Carnival celebrations, including immediate assistance and a special communication system with security forces.

As Salvador's Carnival festivities continue until Tuesday, February 17, an array of services aimed at women's protection is being offered throughout key locations in the city. These services are positioned in important circuits known as DodΓ΄ (Barra/Ondina), Osmar (Campo Grande), and Batatinha (Historic Center) to ensure the safety and comfort of female revelers as they enjoy the celebrations. Support stands are available, and immediate assistance can be sought while navigating these bustling areas.

One notable initiative is the "BotΓ£o LilΓ‘s," implemented by the Municipal Guard of Salvador (GCM). This program establishes a direct link between festival-goers and security forces via a WhatsApp number, allowing victims of harassment or violence to quickly access help. It is connected to the Integrated Command and Control Center (CICC) situated in Bahia's Administrative Center (CAB), enabling swift responses from GCM, Civil Police, and Military Police who collaborate within the CICC to ensure effective protection for women.

This proactive measure highlights the city's commitment to creating a safe environment during one of Brazil's largest and most vibrant cultural events. By integrating safety resources and modern communication tools, Salvador is prioritizing women's safety and fostering a festival atmosphere that encourages participation without fear. These initiatives not only serve as immediate solutions but also raise awareness about the importance of protecting women's rights and ensuring their well-being in public spaces during large events such as Carnival.
