In photos. Protest in Lisbon against the devaluation of abuse in Justice

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 15:39

A protest took place in Lisbon against the devaluation of abuse cases in Portuguese Justice. The action was inspired by the work "The Handmaid's Tale" and featured participants dressed in red, evoking the television series.

The organizers denounced the revictimization of children in judicial proceedings, criticizing the way courts handle these sensitive cases.

The protest also raised awareness about the lack of specialized support in family courts, questioning the preparedness of institutions to deal with abuse victims.

Why this matters

The protest reflects a growing concern in Portugal with the functioning of family courts in protecting children victims of abuse. Participants demand changes in judicial procedures to prevent children from being revictimized during the process, highlighting the gap between legal protections and their implementation in family courts.
