Shelter Map

The Shelter Map is a civil society initiative created with the aim of supporting women who have been victims of sexual violence. Through an online platform, those who have been victims of this type of abuses can connect with therapists and lawyers. 556 volunteers in different cities of Brazil have joined this initiative and have provided legal and therapeutic services to 445 victims. In addition, more than 2,000 citizens have collaborated in the mapping of public services for victims of sexual violence around the country.
