The activity was led by the Director of PDHJ Regional Delegation RAEOA, Bartolomeu Gonçalves, with the involvement of the Regional Police Commander of RAEOA, Assistant Superintendent Ângelo Quelo, and the President of Sub-KRAM Oecusse, Jeferino da Cruz Salu. Participants expressed satisfaction in joining the initiative, highlighting the importance of state institutions engaging with students to help prevent violations in communities and within public services.
Representing the Rector of DIT RAEOA, Vicente da Conceição expressed gratitude to PDHJ for selecting the university as a partner in disseminating information on human rights protection and good governance in Timor-Leste. He underlined the commitment to continue collaboration with PDHJ, noting that in past years similar sessions had already been carried out, and DIT will remain engaged in requesting PDHJ’s support to strengthen awareness among students.
Students from both DIT RAEOA and DIT Dili actively participated with enthusiasm, raising questions and sharing their perspectives on real challenges faced in Timor-Leste, particularly regarding the quality of public services that communities often experience as inefficient. They recommended that oversight institutions like PDHJ continue monitoring the delivery of public services in Oecusse to ensure they are fair, timely, and effective for all citizens.
