During this Christmas season, we are offering our support to the institution Mulher Século XXI (21st Century Woman), with the specific objective of helping them to equip their shelters.

Mulher Século XXI - Associação de Desenvolvimento e Apoio às Mulheres is a Non-Governmental Organisation working for women’s rights, recognised as an Institution of Public Utility, based in Leiria but with nationwide scope.

The association was founded by a group of people committed to defending women’s rights, who felt the need to create responses to deal with the topics of gender equality, citizenship and non-discrimination, education and training for equality and non-violence, prevention and fight against gender-based violence and domestic violence, support and protection of victims of domestic violence, as well as prevention of re-victimisation.

The association has been working on defending the rights of women, children, and the elderly since 2001, with a view to achieving the objectives of equality, development, and peace, and so numerous activities have been carried out, namely:
Information and awareness initiatives;
Training courses;
Reception, follow-up, and referral of victims of domestic violence, in line with the individual needs of each case;
Emergency shelter for women who are victims of domestic violence and minors or dependents in their charge;
Psychological support;
Legal advice.

At Sitecna, we are proud to be able to help the more underprivileged, especially during a season of gathering, family, peace, and love. That is why, year after year, we continue to dedicate all our endeavours to such worthy causes as this one.
