Huguel looks at the woman with a serious expression and asks to speak with her in private. She leads him to a small room at the back of the house, where Huguel sits down and begins to talk. He tells his mother that he has received reports of mistreatment in the house and that he is there to help. The woman is surprised by her words, but Huguel continues, explaining that violence against women and children will not be tolerated in the favela. The mother breaks down in tears, admitting that her husband has been abusing her daughter for years. Huguel listens attentively, offering words of comfort and support. He promises to act and ensure that justice is done.
