Combating feminicide When commenting on other priorities for the state, the candidate also expressed concern about the increase in cases of feminicide in São Paulo. According to her, the growth of violence against women is "inexplicable" and requires the strengthening of the protection network for victims. "In Brazil, the pact between the powers caused feminicide to reduce violence against women a little, but the state of São Paulo increased by 10%. This is inexplicable in the most developed state of Brazil and unacceptable," he stated. The candidate attributed part of the fight against the problem to the expansion of the service structure for women victims of violence. She recalled that she was the first president of the Commission to Combat Violence against Women of the National Congress, created in 2015, and defended more investment in specialized equipment. "If there isn't a Brazilian Women's House, we have to put it up. If there isn't a Specialized Women's Police Station open 24 hours a day, we have to help the state government with resources and the municipality itself so that these police stations stay open," he said. Simone Tebet (PSB) during a visit to São Carlos this Monday (3) João Victor Néo/EPTV Cultural change In addition to strengthening the service network, Tebet stated that the fight against violence against women requires a cultural change and the involvement of men. "The most important thing is that we can see the men defend us," he said. According to her, the majority of Brazilian men do not practice violence, and can contribute even more to changing this reality by not tolerating sexist behavior in everyday life. "These men, in football, in the bar, in church, in family life, from small jokes to big problems, it doesn't go away, 'we don't accept this', I think we can change", he stated. For the minister, while this cultural transformation does not happen, it is necessary to guarantee sufficient budget to finance public policies aimed at protecting women. "It's a cultural issue. Until culture arrives, we need instruments and defense mechanisms, through a strong and robust budget", he concludes. Tebet also stated that investments must prioritize infrastructure works and social policies, respecting the specific demands of each region of the state.
