A woman who was the victim of domestic violence in Campo Grande (MS) was rescued by the Military Police after using a “dipyrone” request as a coded way of asking for help during a call to 190. The case happened at the end of July, but gained repercussion on Wednesday (6), after the PM disclosed the audio of the conversation. Days after the rescue, the victim called again to thank the quick service.
During the initial connection, the woman showed nervousness in saying that she needed a painkiller. The policeman who answered the call suspected the tone and adopted a careful approach, suggesting a codes dialogue. He confirmed that she was at risk and, noting that it was a case of domestic violence, wondered if the aggressor was her husband. She answered with the same Code Word: “Dipyrone.”
To evaluate the severity of aggression without lifting suspicions, the police used a symbolic scale of milligrams. “Speak the intensity of aggression: 10, 20 or 30 milligrams?” He asked. The answer was immediate: “thirty.”
The vehicles were sent to the address and found the woman still on site, without serious injuries. The suspect was arrested in the act.
Days later, the woman called the emergency number again. This time, to thank. “The day I called and you attended me was a very fast service. I’m calling just to thank,” he said excitedly.
In a statement, the Military Police stated that episodes such as this reinforce the importance of the sensitive action of attendants and the permanent combat to violence against women. “Whenever we can prevent the continuity of aggression and bring relief to the victim and family, it is extremely rewarding,” said one of the police involved.
The recording of the call was shared by the PMMS Operations Center as part of the August Lilac Campaign, which marks the month of awareness and coping with violence against women. Disclosure seeks to encourage more victims to report situations of abuse, even when they cannot do so directly.
How to denounce domestic violence
Cases of domestic violence can be confidentially reported by calling 190 (Military Police), 180 (Women’s Care Center), or dial 100, which deals with human rights violations. There are also digital channels, such as the Human Rights Brazil application and the National Human Rights Ombudsman Platform. The complaint can be made by anyone and does not need immediate proof. In cases like this, the response time can save lives.
