Photo: Disclosure/City Hall The City of Rio de Janeiro, through the Municipal Secretariat for Policies for Women and Care, announced this Thursday (12/06) the opening of 4.600 vacancies in free courses aimed at women, with a focus on professional training, income generation and the promotion of female autonomy in the city's territories.

This new stage reinforces the municipal administration's commitment to the care, information and rights of women, especially those in situations of social vulnerability and victims of gender-based violence.
