Protests this Saturday in three Portuguese cities against children's suffering from abuse

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 09:45

Protests are scheduled for this Saturday in three Portuguese cities – Lisbon, Porto, and Faro – against children's suffering from abuse. The protests are part of a global initiative called "Break the Silence."

The organization of the protests in Portugal is being carried out by the Women's Movement – Mover for Rights, which responded to an international call launched by the "Handmaid's Tale" movement in Ireland.

The Portuguese movement thus aims to join the global protest against child abuse, seeking to raise visibility for this cause and push for changes in the protection of young people.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected by these protests, which arise in the context of an international awareness movement for the protection of children against abuse. Portuguese participation in this global mobilization demonstrates solidarity with similar causes in other countries, particularly in Ireland, and reflects a growing mobilization of civil society around this issue.

"Guardians of the Lord of Patience"

The Feast of the Lord of Patience takes place this Sunday, September 13, at the Monastery of Santo António, in Lombo dos Aguiares, Madeira, with the solemn Eucharist at 5:00 PM presided by D. Nuno Brás, bishop of Funchal, followed by a procession. The Poor Clares have kept this devotion alive for more than half a century, linked to the memory of the Servant of God Mother Virginia Brites da Paixão, defining themselves as "guardians of the Lord of Patience." This year marks the debut of a new hymn dedicated to the Lord of Patience, with lyrics by Sister Maria da Cruz and music by Fr. Ignácio Rodrigues, an initiative of Fr. André Pinheiro that involved the parishes of Visitação and Graça in organizing the celebrations.
