One donation of blood can save three lives

Support Animais de Rua

CP - Comboios de Portugal is committed to its Social Responsibility by actively supporting the animal cause. We believe that the protection and welfare of animals are essential for a fairer and more sustainable society.

CP supports initiatives that promote responsible adoption, combat animals being abandonned and raise awareness of animal rights.

We invite everyone to join this campaign by Animais de Rua.

Animais de Rua is a non-profit association set up in 2008 to improve the living conditions of homeless animals through sterilisation, monitoring and medical treatment, feeding and promoting the responsible adoption of docile animals.

There are several areas of operation across the country - Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, Matosinhos, Maia, Gondomar, Esposende, Vila do Conde, Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Amadora, São Miguel (Azores), Vila Nova de Foz Côa, Alcácer do Sal, Benavente and Palmela - and this association's work focuses on implementing and managing a stray animal sterilisation programme, in partnership with municipalities and cat colony carers, using the CSD method (Capture-Sterilise-Devolve).

At the same time, they run an adoption programme for docile animals that are waiting for their final families while they live in Temporary Foster Homes; they raise awareness among children and young people through an Educational Programme; they run information campaigns, awareness-raising actions and provide training in the area of animal welfare.

So far, Animais de Rua has helped more than 58,000 animals and is counting on your help to increase this number.

With your contribution, you are supporting the sterilisation, medical treatment and feeding of an animal. Make your donation:

Thousands of people have been forced to flee and will face winter far from home, in temporary shelters, with few resources or means to keep warm

Join Portugal's humanitarian response with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's national partner, and help protect these families.

UNHCR is stepping up its response ahead of the cold. In Afghanistan and neighbouring countries such as Pakistan, families have faced decades of conflict, poverty, hunger and natural disasters. UNHCR builds shelters, provides heaters and supports families with monetary aid for food, clothing and fuel to protect them from the harsh winter.

Since the invasion of Ukraine, millions have fled their homes and faced winters in temporary accommodation. The government is repairing destroyed buildings, distributing insulation kits, and offering monetary support. In neighbouring countries such as Moldova, it helps with integration and access to employment.

In the Middle East, families in Syria are facing another winter away from home. UNHCR teams are in Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, providing solar lamps and heaters, repairing shelters, and providing monetary and health assistance.

"The excuses for what he did to you are countless. Every day was different, except they weren't". This is the motto of the most recent national campaign to prevent and combat physical and psychological domestic violence organised by the Commission for Citizenship and Gender Equality (CIG), with the support of Portugal's secretary of state for equality and migration.
The initiative was presented on the same day that various entities across the country signed or renewed their commitment to the Pact against Violence, a project that aims to create and formalise a network of partner entities to mobilise emergency responses and support the work of the structures of the National Support Network for Victims of Domestic Violence.
The main goal is to prevent and combat domestic violence in Portugal, which is a serious problem.
In 2022, there were 28 fatalities in the context of domestic violence, and the number of complaints was the highest in the last four years, with more than 30,000 cases recorded, according to the Domestic Violence Portal.
If you need help or want to report a case, call 112 or 800 202 148. Domestic violence is a criminal offence.
