GROUP OF
SUPPORT FOR
WOMEN
AFFECTED
BY
Floods
After the flood, many things needed to be rebuilt. The houses. The routines. The jobs. The relationships. And, often, hope itself.
It was with this in mind that the Coletivo Abrigo created Raízes que Cuidam (Roots that Care): a support group aimed at women affected by floods, with spaces for listening, welcoming, empowerment, and sharing experiences.
These will be supportive and welcoming discussion groups, as well as legal guidance and financial literacy sessions.
This form collects data for the purpose of identifying and contacting people interested in participating in the Raízes que Cuidam project. The data will be processed exclusively by Coletivo Abrigo. The data will be stored in an internal database indefinitely, or until the data subject requests its deletion.
By registering for this project, you authorize the free use of your image, voice, and name in photographs, videos, and promotional materials related to the project's activities, for institutional, educational, and accountability purposes, without any charge and for an indefinite period.

QUESTIONS
Do I need to pay anything?
No. The project is completely free!
Where will the meetings take place?
The meetings will be online, but we will have some special activities that will be held in person in Porto Alegre or the metropolitan area.
On what days and times will the meetings take place?
Mondays from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Every other week.
Will the meetings be recorded so we can watch them later?
No. This will be a safe and welcoming space where you and other women can feel comfortable talking openly, so no meetings will be recorded.
Who can participate?
Women, Brazilian or foreign, of legal age, who were affected by the floods in Rio Grande do Sul.
I was affected by the flood, but I later moved to another state. Can I still participate?
Yes. If you were affected by the flood in Rio Grande do Sul and then moved to another state, you can participate as well.
