Legislative initiative provides social rent assistance to women
The bill assigns the Center for Reference in Assistance to Women (CRAM), linked to the Petrópolis Department of Government, the task of assessing the cases. Thus, CRAM will be responsible for registering the beneficiaries, preparing technical reports, and supervising all the necessary steps to grant this benefit.
The Maria da Penha Law, since its introduction, has encouraged reports of situations involving aggression. However, the path from reporting to penalizing the aggressor frequently faces obstacles.
Therefore, making this assistance available is vital to breaking the cycle of domestic violence. It provides victims with the material and financial means to overcome the emotional and economic restrictions imposed by aggressors, as councilwoman Júlia Casamasso emphasized.
Bill awaits approval from the Executive Branch
First, statistics from CRAM in Petrópolis reveal an increase in cases of aggression against women in the locality. In August this year alone, 133 consultations were recorded, marking a 66.25% increase compared with the same month in 2022.

Therefore, Casamasso expressed her desire to incorporate a budget projection for 2024, with the aim of ensuring that beneficiaries receive the assistance as soon as possible. In addition, she highlighted that investing in this assistance has a small impact on the public budget, but brings about a major transformation in the lives of women who are victims of domestic violence.
In conclusion, the Bill awaits approval from the Executive Branch to be put into practice, hoping to assist women who are victims of domestic violence in Petrópolis.
