The Art of Rage | by R E N A T A B U Z Z O “WHY TALK ABOUT SUCH A HEAVY TOPIC? After all, should Fashion be light, escapist, and shallow, or does it inherently speak about current ways of life and behavior?
Data from the 2025 Annual Socioeconomic Report on Women (Raseam), released by the Ministry of Women on 03/25 in Brasília, shows that in 2024, 1,450 femicides and 2,485 intentional homicides of women and cases of bodily harm resulting in death were recorded.
These figures represent a 5.07% decrease across all cases of lethal violence against women compared to 2023 records, when 1,438 femicide cases and another 2,707 cases of intentional homicide and bodily harm resulting in death were counted.
Also regarding forms of violence against women, the annual report shows that Brazil recorded the equivalent of 196 r**es per day in 2024, totaling 71,892 cases of r**e against women over the past year. Despite the high number of recorded cases, there was a 1.44% decrease compared to 2023.
The Minister of Women, Cida Gonçalves, explains that the decline in gender violence numbers reflects the efforts of public policies, the national mobilization for zero femicide, national debates, and a shift in behavior regarding when to intervene in cases of violence.
“This means that someone is intervening before the act happens, that someone is taking initiative. That’s what we need: a society that does not stay silent, that doesn’t say this is only the State’s responsibility. It is primarily the State’s responsibility, but it is the role of all of society to intervene, to call, to guide, and to TALK ABOUT IT!”
According to records from the Ministry of Health’s Notifiable Health Conditions Information System (Sinan/MS), in cases of violence against adult women (ages 2 to 59), 60.4% were against Black and mixed-race women, while 37.5% were against white women. According to the Ministry of Women, the data highlights the overlapping vulnerabilities faced by Black women.
In 76.6% of records of domestic, s*xual, and/or other violence against women, the aggressor is male.
