Efforts to address violence against women in Brazil have focused on both institutional discussion and data integration. In Brasília, the Ministério Público do Distrito Federal e Territórios (MPDFT) organized the third ‘Todas Elas’ Integration Forum to discuss prevention and response strategies. This event coincided with the 20th anniversary of the Maria da Penha Law and followed a study indicating that 77.6% of women in the Federal District had experienced some form of intimate partner violence. During the ‘Agosto Lilás’ national awareness campaign, initiatives have expanded through local legislative actions and regional programs. In Araraquara and Ladário, public hearings have been held to discuss legal protections and municipal budgets. In São Luís, officials continue to call for the operationalization of the Maria da Penha Patrol within the Municipal Guard. In Bahia, the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-BA) has launched a center specifically to prevent and confront political violence against women. Recent developments highlight the scale of the crisis, with 2025 DataSenado research estimating that approximately 3.7 million Brazilian women experienced domestic or family violence in a 12-month period, averaging ‘seven cases per minute’. Regional responses continue to diversify. In Palmas, the Municipal Secretariat for Women (Semup) has utilized the ‘Agosto Lilás’ campaign to provide health and beauty services at the Casa da Mulher Brasileira (CMB), alongside educational talks at the Social Assistance Reference Center (Cras) in Jardim Taquari. The CMB serves as a centralized hub integrating psychosocial support, specialized police stations, and judicial courts to provide humanized care and prevent re-victimization. Recent ‘Agosto Lilás’ activities include an educational event in Palmital involving the Rotary Club, the OAB, and the Civil Police to instruct students on domestic violence and protection networks. In Parauapebas, the City Council hosted an art exhibition to encourage reflection on various forms of violence and promote emergency reporting channels.
