Women raising fists in solidarity, others applauding STORYLINE: Sunday's marches in Brazil for International Women’s Day served as a rallying cry against gender-based violence, fueled by the latest case to outrage the country involving the alleged gang rape of a 17-year-old girl in Copacabana. The case in Rio de Janeiro’s famed, beachside neighborhood took place in January but gained national traction this week when four suspects turned themselves over to authorities. Described by police as a gang rape, it has added fuel to the fire in a nation where reports of violence against women have surged in recent months, sparking nationwide protests and a flurry of digital activism. Several protests happened across the country, with organizers calling for the defense of women's lives and an end to femicide. Violence against women in Brazil continues to climb, with 1,568 reported femicides in 2025 alone, a 4.7% increase from the previous year and more than three times the number in 2015, according to the Brazilian Forum on Public Safety. Other crimes against women — such as threats, stalking, psychological violence, bodily injury, rape and attempted femicide — have also been increasing consistently in recent years, the think tank said in a report released ahead of March, 8. After a string of high-profile cases last year and the ensuing protests, Brazil’s government increased protective measures. And earlier this year, the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced a multipronged effort to combat femicide involving the executive, legislative and judiciary powers.
