Brazil Sees Alarming Rise in Femicides, With Average of Four Deaths per Day in 2025
A disturbing trend has emerged in Brazil, with a recent study revealing that femicides have reached record-breaking levels in 2025. According to the data, an average of four women are killed every day, sparking widespread concern and outrage.
Experts attribute this surge to increased recognition and reporting of murders as femicides rather than mere homicides. This shift highlights a broader issue: the growing trend of violence against women in Brazil. Since 2017, violent attacks on women have skyrocketed, with an alarming number being perpetrated by their intimate partners within the home.
The statistics paint a bleak picture of domestic violence, where the very walls that are meant to provide shelter and safety can become deadly traps for many. The government has a duty to address this issue head-on, providing support and protection to victims while working towards creating a safer society for all women.
