CEPS Anita Garibaldi offers support services for victims of violence
In 2016, the Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (CEPS) implemented, in partnership with the Public Health Department of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, the Reference Service for Care for Children, Adolescents and Women Victims of Sexual Violence. The emphasis of this project is on harm reduction and the use of procedures and resources (prophylaxis) to prevent and avoid sexually transmitted infections after sexual exposure for victims of sexual violence in the Macaíba Microregion.
Within its scope of maternal and child health care, CEPS created this service to ensure comprehensive care for victims of sexual violence, assisting in the care and appropriate referrals within the health network. It also seeks to maintain a process of ongoing education in the area of prevention and care for women who suffer sexual violence, aimed at professionals who make up the health care, education, social assistance and public safety network in the municipality of Macaíba.
