Of the total arrests, 49,129 were made in flagrante delicto, while 8,661 were executed via judicial warrants. The most frequent offenses recorded include bodily injury (16,644 cases), threats (15,019 cases), and the violation of urgent protective measures (4,949 cases). Regionally, the South accounted for the highest percentage of arrests at 36%, followed by the Center-West at 26%, the Southeast at 18%, the Northeast at 15%, and the North at 4%.

In a separate initiative, the Rede Justiça Criminal launched the 'Vote Segura' campaign.

The guide emphasizes permanent public policies, evidence-based decision-making, and strengthened coordination between federal entities to address the high rates of feminicide in the country.
