On August 27th, Promundo participated in the National Civil Construction Day, an annual event of the Social Service of the Construction Industry of Rio de Janeiro (SECONCI-Rio). At the event, Promundo had a stand with the You are my Father Exhibition and information to involve men in the care and education of girls and boys and in their commitment to fatherhood. Conversation circles were held with workers and their families.
