Brazil Strengthens Digital Violence Protections for Women With New Decree

The measures address widespread violence against women, with official reports showing 6,328 aggressor arrests, 39,000 victims assisted, and 30,000+ protection measures implemented under Operation Safe Woman.

In Brasília, President Lula signed a decree and four new laws that together demand accountability from technology platforms and the courts in the face of a violence that has grown alongside social media itself. Brazil is recognizing what many societies have been slow to admit: that digital harm and physical harm are not separate worlds, but a single continuum of control and danger. The measures — reaching 27 states, thousands of municipalities, and tens of thousands of victims — represent a collective decision that women's safety online must be a legal right, not a platform courtesy.
