Brazil gender‑based violence debate

Entities: Elize Matsunaga · Netflix · Marcos Matsunaga

Overview

In mid‑July 2026 Brazilian actress Elisa Lucinda condemned actor Juliano Cazarré for alleging that men are more often victims of women and for promoting a male‑self‑esteem course. She highlighted that his claims contradicted the country’s severe femicide statistics, sparking a backlash on social media and reigniting concerns over misinformation surrounding gender‑based violence.

A few weeks later, former inmate Elize Matsunaga’s viral prison quote – “You leave prison, but not the coffin” – prompted renewed discussion about domestic violence, the limits of public discourse and self‑defence. The surge in attention was amplified by the release of a Netflix documentary on her case, leading to calls for stronger protective policies and reporting mechanisms for victims of abuse.
