A few days before International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8, a committee made up of representatives from Brazil’s three branches of government presented a plan on Wednesday (Mar. 4) to combat gender-based violence in the country. One of the highlights of the initiative is a nationwide effort to execute approximately 1,000 arrest warrants against perpetrators who remain at large throughout the country.
The joint effort will be spearheaded nationally by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, in collaboration with state security forces.
In addition to carrying out operations to enforce arrest warrants, plans include the adoption of a tracking system for aggressors whose victims are under protective measures, in addition to a new integrated center for women’s safety, to centralize data and monitoring.
