Red Bench initiatives against violence in Brazil

Overview

In Brazil, municipalities have begun inaugurating ‘Banco Vermelho’ (Red Bench) installations as part of initiatives to combat feminicide and violence against women.

In Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, the ‘Red Bench’ was established at Praça dos Ossos as part of the ‘Búzios por Elas’ campaign. The site honors the memory of Ângela Diniz, a landmark figure in Brazilian debates regarding gender violence, and aims to connect the local population with municipal protection networks.

In Cachoeirinha, Rio Grande do Sul, the inauguration of a Red Bench at the local Forum immediately facilitated a victim seeking assistance. Following this event, authorities expressed plans to expand the initiative by installing more benches in municipal parks and schools to strengthen local support systems.
