Brazil launches Alerta Mulher Segura program to protect women

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a decree on 31 July 2026 establishing the Alerta Mulher Segura program. The initiative authorises electronic monitoring of domestic‑violence offenders with ankle‑bracelet devices and provides a portable tracking unit to victims. The device automatically alerts the woman and police whenever the offender breaches a court‑ordered exclusion zone and can be activated by the victim in an emergency.

Implementation will be coordinated among electronic‑monitoring agencies, public‑security forces, the justice system and networks that assist women. Execution is delegated to the states and the Federal District, which may adapt the model locally. Participation by victims is voluntary, requires informed consent and incurs no cost to the woman. A national information system will record and analyse protective‑measure data and produce disaggregated statistics. The decree also mandates that public and private venues display the telephone numbers for women‑violence helplines.
