The Brazilian Senate approved legislation, PL 2.525/2024, to establish a unified protocol for the care of victims of rape and other forms of violence against women, children, adolescents, and vulnerable individuals. 

The law aims to standardize procedures across police stations and health units to provide immediate medical and protective assistance. Under the new rules, failure to follow these protocols may be classified as “institutional violence” if it results in the re-victimization of the individual or obstructs investigations. The measure requires security professionals to ensure immediate referral to health units and mandates that medical reports be forwarded to authorities following violence assessments to improve criminal prosecution.
