Important update: the Renascendo Uma Nova Mulher para o Mundo project, run by the City of Aracaju through SerMulher, expanded its age range to young women aged 16 to 27 and extended free applications through September 21, 2026. Applications are submitted through the link in the bio of the official @sermulheraju profile.
The change was announced on September 18 and replaces the initial rule, which set an application deadline of September 18 for women aged 18 to 25. The project is designed to work on self-esteem, communication, posture, identity, image, style, and personal development, followed by an assessment stage, an immersion program for those selected, and a closing runway event.
What changed in the application rules
- Age range: it changed from 18-25 to 16-27.
- Deadline: it was extended from September 18 to September 21, 2026.
- Cost: participation remains free.
- Application channel: the form is accessed through the link in the bio of SerMulher's official Instagram account, @sermulheraju. The department's official contact page also identifies this account as its Instagram profile.
Who can participate now
The latest update says that young women aged 16 to 27 may apply, subject to the project's criteria. In the original announcement, the City also stated that applicants had to live in Aracaju and be at least 1.70 m tall. The September 18 update highlighted the changes to age and deadline without explicitly announcing a change to those other requirements.
Applicants should therefore review the current form before submitting, especially to confirm whether residency and height are still required exactly as stated in the first announcement. For applicants aged 16 or 17, the public information reviewed does not specify whether parental or guardian authorization is required, so that point should also be checked in the form or directly with SerMulher.
How to apply by September 21
- Go to the official @sermulheraju Instagram profile.
- Open the application link in the bio.
- Read the criteria shown in the updated form, including requirements beyond age.
- Complete the requested information and submit the application by September 21.
- Keep the submission confirmation or receipt if the form provides one.
Because the announcement says that the first 100 applicants move on to the preliminary assessment, it is better not to wait until the end of the deadline once the candidate has confirmed that she meets the requirements.
Schedule for the next stages
| Stage | Date | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Applications | Through Sep. 21 | Free application through the link in the @sermulheraju bio. |
| Preliminary assessment | Published window between Sep. 21 and 23 | The first 100 applicants take part in the assessment stage. Reproductions of the update mention Sep. 22-23 in the body text, while the service box states Sep. 21-23. Applicants should follow the call they receive or the latest guidance from SerMulher. |
| Immersion | Sep. 24-25 | Thirty selected young women take part in the training activities. |
| Closing runway event | Sep. 26 | Closing event at Praça da Juventude in Conjunto Augusto Franco, as part of the Descubra Aracaju program. |
What happens during the immersion
After the preliminary assessment, 30 participants will be selected for the September 24-25 immersion. The program includes workshops and activities on image and style, posture, communication, identity, self-esteem, and personal development. According to the City, the idea is to use fashion and image as tools to strengthen confidence, expression, and the ability to occupy new spaces.
The project is organized by the City of Aracaju through the Municipal Department for Respect and Policies for Women, in partnership with As Joanas. The announced program also includes invited professionals, among them fashion designer Rosita Hurtado and professionals from Sergipe connected to fashion and participant development.
Where to confirm official information
The main reference for the age and deadline changes is the update published by the City of Aracaju on September 18. The original project announcement records the initial criteria and stage structure.
To verify the department's institutional channel, the official SerMulher contacts page lists @sermulheraju as its Instagram account, along with other contact methods. Because the deadline is September 21 and the rules were recently updated, applicants should review the current form at the time they apply.
