With uniforms in vibrant shades of pink and plenty of enthusiasm, a new team composed exclusively of women has joined the urban gardening services in Vila Velha. The initiative not only reinforces the care for the city's green areas but also symbolizes an important step in valuing the presence of women in roles historically occupied by men.
The professionals, affectionately known as "Margaridas," are already working in squares, parks, and central medians, drawing attention for their dedication, technique, and, of course, the striking colors that adorn their uniforms. The action also highlights the public administration's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the appreciation of women's work.
Inclusion and care go hand in hand.
The creation of the women's team is not just symbolic. It represents a practical transformation in the daily life of the city, showing that care for public spaces can — and should — also be a reflection of equal opportunities.
The presence of the Margaridas in gardening services has generated positive impacts not only on the urban landscape but also in the relationship between the population and the professionals who care for public spaces. The pink uniform has become a trademark of the team, creating a unique identity that inspires respect and empathy wherever they go.
A new perspective on the city
With the implementation of this team, Vila Velha takes a significant step beyond gardening: it invests in representativeness, equality, and the recognition of female strength. An example of how small actions — like caring for flowers, trees, and lawns — can carry great significance.
