The Committee for the Defense of Women's Rights of the Chamber of Deputies approved this Monday (6) a bill that amends the Law on Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB) to ensure that children of victims of domestic and family violence have the right to the place at the public school closest to your residence.

According to the proposal, if victims of domestic violence change domicile, the enrollment must be relocated to the public school closest to the new residence. In such cases, communication to the competent Guardianship Council must occur.

The approved text is a substitute presented by Deputy Rejane Dias (PT-PI) to bills 1705/21 and 2797/21 by Deputy Benes Leocádio (Republicanos-RN).

According to Deputy Rejane Dias, the measure can improve the quality of life of victims of violence and can alleviate the damage borne by the battered woman."

The proposal is being processed conclusively and will be analyzed by the Education, Social Security and Family and Constitution and Justice and Citizenship committees.
