Santos opens support room for women victims of violence | OneFootball

This Friday (10), Santos inaugurated the welcome room, a space created to offer support and listening to women in situations of harassment, racism, or other forms of violence. The location is set up on the second floor of Vila Belmiro and, initially, will only serve club employees. The expectation is that soon the service will also be available to female fans on game days.

The inauguration date was chosen to mark the National Day of Struggle Against Violence Against Women and the World Mental Health Day. The project is part of the “No One Remains Silent Pact”, a partnership between Santos, the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of São Paulo, and the Labor Prosecutor's Office, aimed at combating gender violence and promoting safer environments.

“We are addressing the human issue, a place for conversation, dialogue, and venting. It is the duty of a Club with the greatness of Santos FC. All those who need support and attention, we are always open,” highlighted Marcelo Teixeira, president of Santos.

Representatives from the Management Committee, the Women of Brazil Group, and Justice Prosecutor Fabíola Sucasas participated in the ceremony. The creation of the space is part of the actions of the Santos Women's Commission, established in March 2025, which seeks to expand female presence and encourage equality in all areas of the institution.

“Having representatives from all sectors reflects the commitment to inclusion and respect for women. The Welcome Room is another important step for this strengthening and thus becoming a reference in the country,” stated Márcia Fernandes, Santos' accounting coordinator.
