The City of Rio, through the Community Action Secretariat, took the Favela com Dignidade program to Realengo, in the West Zone, this Saturday (27/4), and registered 1.561 direct services to residents of the region, surpassing 40 thousand direct services since its implementation, in 2021. The joint action was carried out in the Parque Ideal community and had the participation of several secretariats and public bodies of the municipality and the state with the provision of multiple services.

– Favela com Dignidade ensures that everyone has access to public services close to home, without the need for long journeys and with the possibility of receiving more than one service on the same day – highlighted the Secretary of Community Action, Marlí Peçanha.

Among the most sought-after services were those offered by the Health Department, which included vaccinations, tips on preventing arboviruses (dengue, zika and chikungunya), prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and guidance on oral hygiene. The public also filled the tent of the Housing Department, which offered registrations for the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program. There was a great demand for the beauty workshops offered by the Department of Policies and Promotion of Women, which included eyebrow design, braiding and facial cleansing. The department also promoted the Tem Saída campaign, aimed at women in situations of violence. The Youth Department provided information about courses with open vacancies on the topics of Advanced Industry and DJ, aimed at people between 15 and 29 years old.

The Sports Department held a Zumba class to encourage physical activity and get the public in shape.

In addition to the services offered during the community action, the City Hall has also initiated some interventions to improve the quality of life in the region. These include maintenance of the lighting system, wire trapping operations to remove loose and unused wires, replacement of manhole covers, street cleaning and weeding. The work is being carried out by Rioluz, the Municipal Conservation Department and Comlurb.

Implemented in 2021, the initiative has already promoted 27 joint community actions, with more than 40 thousand direct services.
