Brava: Adventist women organize awareness activity to “break silence in the face of abuse”

Speaking to Inforpress, the District director of the Women's Ministry of the Adventist Church in Brava, Ana Miranda, explained that this program is included in a sermon under the motto "Wolves in sheep's clothing" and is taking place worldwide and, in Brava , the activities will take place in the locality of Lomba Tantum.

According to the same source, they have found that many people suffer from different types of violence, although, he reinforced that the group of women, children and the elderly is the most vulnerable and the one that suffers most from situations of violence and the locality of Lomba is a community where several situations of violence occur, making it necessary to break the silence and provide tools to avoid more cases.

Because, as shown, in this location almost all social ills are present, from the use and abuse of drugs, alcohol consumption by minors, among other situations that need to be analyzed.

Questioned about the ways and means that the group will use to pass these messages on, Ana Miranda informed that they will spend the whole day in the locality, with lectures, open conversations, staging of different situations of violence, but also a march with a cry of alert to break the silence.

In addition, he highlighted that some activities and reflections on abuse and violence and the importance of denouncing these situations are scheduled, as a way of making society, in general, reflect on how this situation is transforming the world into something different from what it is God planned.

This person in charge took the opportunity to alert society about the nature of cases of abuse and violence, reinforcing that the aggressors are almost never unknown, but known, kind and very close people, thus making the analogy of the motto "Wolves in sheep's clothing".

Hence, he underlined that society needs to be more attentive, especially to children, women and the elderly who are usually the main victims, in order to minimize these cases and also be aware to support the victims and help them to get out of these situations, making complaints and providing support.
