According to the Security Observatories Network, every four hours in Brazil, a woman is the victim of violence. More than 2,400 cases were reported in 2022, almost 500 of which were feminicides, meaning at least one woman died every day just because she was a woman.

This is how Casa provides humane and comprehensive assistance to women who are victims of violence. For example, welcome and screening services are offered; psychosocial support; police station; access to justice, prosecutors and prosecutors.

“So that we do not have every place with an isolated home, alone, we need a line of help, a line of quality, effectiveness of the result, and a national policy that can support women’s lives and guarantee safety in the service,” explained Women’s Minister Sida Gonçalves. .
