It is expected that there will be a change in the classification of the crime to feminicide, which will result in more severe penalties, reflecting the cruelty and fatality of the act. Brazilian legislation, through Lei of

Data released by Senado Federal indicates that Brasil recorded 1,568 victims of femicide in 2025, which represents an increase of 4.7% compared to the previous year. Esse survey is an alarming mirror of the country’s reality, where violence against women persists at worrying levels.

Profile of victims and the scale of the problem

The research shows that in 8 out of 10 cases of femicide, the crimes are committed by partners or ex-partners, showing that, for many women, the greatest risk and the closest threat are within their own homes.

Programas as well as Lei Maria and Penha (Law No. 11,340/2006) represent a significant legal advance, establishing mechanisms to curb and prevent domestic and family violence. However, the application and improvement of these laws depend on continuous investments and greater awareness in society.

The creation of specialized police stations, shelters and reference centers for women in situations of violence are important steps. It is essential that these services are widely publicized and accessible, especially in smaller cities and more remote areas, where the support infrastructure is still deficient, as indicated by femicide statistics.

The importance of reporting and the protection network

Reporting is a fundamental pillar in combating violence against women, but many victims face barriers such as fear, shame or financial dependence.

Canais like Disque 180 and women’s police stations are available to receive complaints and provide guidance, ensuring that victims do not feel alone.
