The Municipal Secretariat of Youth of Rio de Janeiro (JUVRio) promoted, on Monday (March 9th), at the Casa da Juventude Centro, the event “Women Who Inspire”, a special program in celebration of International Women's Day last Sunday, March 8th. The initiative brought together various activities aimed at welcoming, valuing and strengthening the self-esteem of the female public.
Throughout the day, participants had access to a range of free services, such as massage, eyebrow shaping, waxing, hair braiding, and the distribution of gifts. The activities were designed to provide moments of self-care, well-being, and connection. Participants also had the opportunity to experience a jongo dance class, focusing on the importance of preserving cultural traditions.
