The protocol between the Portuguese Platform for Women's Rights (PpDM) and the Portuguese Bar Association, through its Human Rights Commission, was signed at the Bar's headquarters at 4:30 pm on 6 September, in the presence of the chairman of the lawyers Luís Menezes Leitão and the platform’s president, Ana Sofia Fernandes.

From the point of view of the OA Human Rights Commission, the support is intended to “fill a gap in the defence of the rights of women and children”, also promoting gender equality.
