Because she has frequent contact with migrants, one of the main focuses of Sister Terezinha's comments was them. Coordinator of the Migrant House, Terezinha began her testimony by mentioning improvements in transportation. According to her, many migrants live in remote areas, where few buses pass by.
Continuing with the considerations, the next topic was extended care in health units. Many workers are unable to leave their jobs to go to the clinics, and at night the care has already ended. Other highlights are public spaces for leisure and culture, in addition to greater public safety.
Sister Terezinha also expressed a long-held desire: to create a shelter for immigrants. This would give this population a temporary place to regularize their documentation and be truly included in society. “Refugee migrants are often questioned and do not receive care, especially in the area of health,” she explains.
The comment is part of the 20 surveys in the special edition of the city's 110th anniversary. Until the 30th, there is exclusive content that goes back to the history to then build the future of Foz do Iguaçu.
Each survey was conducted at different locations, with people of different identities. This demonstrates the plurality and common interests of residents.
