| Summary: | This note aims at providing support to
federal and subnational governments in understanding the
increased risks of Violence against Women (VAW) in the
country under Coronavirus (COVID-19) and providing the most
appropriate responses in the short, medium and longer term.
It points to evidence of epidemic-related risk factors
connected to increased levels of VAW, trends of VAW during
the Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in Brazil, policy
measures and interventions implemented globally to mitigate
adverse impacts, as well as response efforts that have been
put in place both by governments and civil society
organizations. It also compiles existing data available on
increased VAW in the country since the onset of the
Coronavirus (COVID-19 pandemic, pointing to the main (direct
and indirect) links between the two. |
