This programme is facilitated by Veracel. So far, more than 500 professionals from 121 government agencies and civil society organizations have taken part in it.

The Premio Neide Castanha Award

The Premio Neide Castanha Award honors individuals and institutions for their uncompromising defense of the human rights of children and adolescents, especially in the field of sexual rights. It is granted by the Human Rights Secretariat of the Presidency once a year. The award is a tribute to Neide Castanha, a Brazilian human rights activist who has devoted much of her life to combating violence against children and adolescents in Brazil. Neide Castanha was actively involved in creating Brazil's National Plan to Combat Sexual Violence against Children and Adolescents.
