Secretary of Itaquaquecetuba is dismissed after allegations of sexual harassment

According to the police report, the employee reported that the episode happened on October 27th. The dismissal was published in the municipality's Official Gazette the following day, October 28th.

In a note, the City Hall informed that it dismissed Dávila as soon as it became aware of the police report and the complaint formalized by the employee at the Municipal Ombudsman's Office (read the full note below).

In a statement to the police, the employee stated that she was working when Dávila, identified by her as her boss, approached her desk.

The employee said that, after the episode, she reported the incident to other City Hall employees, who helped her formalize the incident.

“As soon as it became aware of the Police Report (B.O.) and the complaint formalized by the victim at the Municipal Ombudsman's Office, the City of Itaquaquecetuba dismissed the then secretary, who had been in charge of the Economic Development and Labor department since January 1, 2021.

While trusting in the work of the Civil Police and the Judiciary to clarify the facts, the municipal administration values respect for the rights of women and all employees, not tolerating any type of situation that may embarrass or exceed legal and moral limits.”
