The ‘Liga Portuguesa dos Direitos Humanos – Civitas’ was present at the Information Session on the reception of Ukrainian refugees, promoted by the Lisbon City Hall, yesterday, at F\u00f3rum Lisboa.<\/p>\n

Present at the table were Dr. Laurinda Alves, Lisbon City Council Councillor for Human and Social Rights, Dr. Ros\u00e1rio Farmhouse, President of the National Commission for the Promotion of the Rights and Protection of Children and Young People (CNPDPCJ), Dr. Marlene Jord\u00e3o, coordinator of the National Center for Support of Migrant Integration (ACM) and Dr. S\u00e9rgio Cintra, administrator of Santa Casa da Miseric\u00f3rdia. <\/p>\n

Liga Portuguesa dos Direitos Humanos – Civitas notes with displeasure the absence of Dr. S\u00f3nia Almeida, assistant of the Ministry of Social Security and Labor. <\/p>\n

We must emphasize the enormous desire for help and humanitarian support shown by the Portuguese, who, through their own efforts, have multiplied themselves in offers of help and in trying to help in any way they can. This has been present until now and was reinforced by the people who were present at Forum Lisbon, many of whom already have Ukrainians staying in their homes. The forces of Civil Society as well as the municipalities have truly led the way. <\/p>\n

    Dr. Laurinda Alves warned that the connection between the offers of reception and the needs of the refugees have primacy of treatment and the more general offers of help are being processed with greater delay but are not forgotten. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
