Office of the Ombudsperson (PFDC) - Brazil

One of the most promising pieces of news we received in 2022 occurred during a work meeting with colleagues from the Brazilian Office of the Ombudsperson (PFDC). We were informed that AIPG's online courses, conducted throughout 2021 and 2022, had served as an inspiration for the creation of a series of webinars titled 'Os desafios para o acolhimento de migrantes e refugiados' (Challenges for the reception of migrants and refugees), aimed at addressing the intersection of atrocity prevention and migrations for PFDC officials.

The online courses on Foundations in Mass Atrocity Prevention and Migrations, as well as Atrocity Prevention, not only inspired this new training cycle but their materials and focus will also be incorporated into the curriculum.

This initiative, which fills us with pride, was presented in December 2022 to the PFDC officials' community in Brazil and will be implemented by PFDC in 2023 and 2024 with technical assistance from AIPG. This platform will serve as an additional resource to fulfill our mandate to assist in building institutional capacity in atrocity prevention.

Una de las noticias más prometedoras que recibimos en 2022 se produjo durante una reunión de trabajo con colegas de la Oficina del Defensor del Pueblo de Brasil (PFDC). Nos informaron de que los cursos en línea de AIPG, realizados a lo largo de 2021 y 2022, habían servido de inspiración para la creación de una serie de seminarios web titulados "Os desafios para o acolhimento de migrantes e refugiados" (Los desafíos para la acogida de migrantes y refugiados), destinados a abordar la intersección de la prevención de atrocidades y las migraciones para lxs funcionarixs de la PFDC.

Los cursos en línea sobre Fundamentos en Prevención de Atrocidades Masivas y Migraciones, así como Prevención de Atrocidades, no sólo inspiraron este nuevo ciclo de formación, sino que sus materiales y enfoque también se incorporarán al plan de estudios.

Esta iniciativa, que nos llena de orgullo, se presentó en diciembre de 2022 a la comunidad de funcionarios de PFDC en Brasil y han sido implementada por PFDC en 2023 y 2024 con la asistencia técnica de AIPG. Esta plataforma servirá como un recurso adicional para cumplir con nuestro mandato de ayudar en la creación de capacidad institucional en la prevención de atrocidades.
