In view of the information disclosed by the IML and DHPP, the UFPI issued a new notein which he “explains, with deep indignation, repudiation of the violence committed against student Janaina da Silva Bezerra, who also attacks each of the women who make up the ufp community, as well as everyone who today puts himself in the place of speech of one of them ”.

“Speaking for Janaína is not accepting any type of aggression against women, it is working so that the fight against this violence results in a change in the sexist culture scenario on which such attitudes are based. It’s not accepting that the strength of a male body prevails over a female body. It means not cowering in the face of acts of violence of any kind.”
