Brazilian institutional efforts to combat violence against女性

Overview

Efforts to combat violence against women in Brazil have seen recent developments in institutional oversight and service expansion. In August 2026, the Court of Accounts of Mato Grosso do Sul participated in the launch of the National Network of External Control for the Protection of Women (Rede que Protege) during a seminar in Rio de Janeiro. This network aims to coordinate efforts among Courts of Accounts to evaluate public policies regarding the prevention of violence, victim assistance, and the accountability of aggressors.

Concurrently, protection services in Mato Grosso do Sul are expanding. The Casa da Mulher Brasileira in Campo Grande, which provides 24-hour integrated psychosocial, security, and legal services, was inspected by Substitute Minister of Women Eutália Barbosa. During the visit, Barbosa noted the necessity for protection networks to address new challenges such as digital violence. Additionally, the Mato Grosso do Sul State Secretariat of Citizenship has allocated R$ 8.8 million toward a new Casa da Mulher Brasileira in Dourados. This project, budgeted at R$ 18 million through joint funding from the Ministry of Women and the state government, will provide centralized services including police stations, temporary housing, and economic autonomy programs.

In September 2026, new legislative initiatives in Mato Grosso aimed to reduce barriers for victims. The Court of Justice of Mato Grosso do Sul proposed a measure to the Legislative Assembly to grant total exemption from court costs and judicial fees for victims of domestic violence, suggesting that victim status alone should suffice as evidence of vulnerability. Furthermore, State Deputy Dr. João introduced Resolution No. 10.633/2025, which mandates that at least 8% of outsourced service positions within the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso be reserved for women experiencing domestic violence to promote financial independence.
