The facade of the municipal building in Belmonte will be illuminated in blue and pink until October 18, as a symbolic act of solidarity with families who have experienced the loss of a baby. The initiative, in partnership with the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of the Cova da Beira Local Health Unit (ULS Cova da Beira), aims to bring visibility to a reality often experienced in silence.
More than a symbolic gesture, the lighting seeks to contribute to greater awareness of the emotional impact of gestational and neonatal loss. The municipality aims to reinforce the importance of welcoming, empathy, and support for families going through this grieving process.
The Belmonte Municipal Council emphasizes that raising societal awareness on this issue is essential to combat the isolation often felt by those who experience it, stressing that no family should face this pain alone.
Through this action, Belmonte joins a movement that seeks to promote understanding, respect, and support for grieving families, giving a voice to a cause that deserves greater recognition and attention from the community.
