Brazil's femicide rate skyrockets to record highs in 2025, with the nation experiencing an alarming average of four women being killed every single day.
According to a recent study, the surge in femicides can be attributed in part to increased recognition and reporting of these crimes. Historically, many murders committed against women were classified as ordinary homicides rather than specifically recorded as femicides. This shift in classification has led to an upward revision of reported femicide cases over the past few years.
The alarming trend towards increased violence against women is a growing concern. Since 2017, reports have shown a sharp rise in such incidents, with an increasing number of women facing brutal attacks by their partners within the safety of their own homes.
The data paints a stark picture, highlighting the dire need for swift action to address this escalating crisis.
