WORLD WORLDWIDE SOUTH AMERICA BRAZIL - news journal UPDATE - (en) Brazil, OSL: Fighting for an end to violence against women, overthrowing patriarchy and the capitalist-statist system! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The brutal cases of femicide and violence against women in recent days

have drawn attention to a reality that has been intensifying for years.
Statistics show that the numbers of femicides, violence, and rapes of
children and women have not decreased; on the contrary, they have. The
numbers reveal that the material reality of women's lives continues to
perpetuate a structure of oppression, exploitation, racism, and
misogyny. The rise of the far-right internationally and the deepening of
neoliberal economic policies are increasingly attacking living
conditions and the guarantee of physical and psychological safety. This
violence is a structural part of the capitalist-statist system, ensuring
the maintenance of patriarchy and sexist culture.

Cases like that of Tainara Souza Santos, run over and dragged for 1km by
Douglas Alves da Silva, with whom the victim had a romantic
relationship, in São Paulo; From Lais Angeli, victim of physical
violence and attempted rape by the YouTuber "Calvo do Campari" in the
interior of São Paulo; from Allane de Souza and Layse Pinheiro, victims
of a double femicide in Rio de Janeiro; from Catarina Kasten, a teacher
in Florianópolis, raped and murdered while on her way to a swimming
lesson; from Isabele Gomes de Macedo, assaulted by Aguinaldo José Alves,
dying burned alive with her four children in Recife; from Alice Martins
Alves, a trans woman who died as a result of a beating by two bar
employees in Belo Horizonte, a crime clearly motivated by transphobia;
and countless others in all regions of Brazil. According to figures
recorded by DataSenado, 3.7 million Brazilian women suffered domestic or
family violence in 2025, with an increase in violence against women in
the last period; violence intensified for black and poor women. In the
city of São Paulo, for example, the number of femicides hit a cruel
record in 2025, with 53 cases.

The reality is even more alarming when we consider that the vast
majority of gender-based violence episodes are not reported, and often
the cases are downplayed or disregarded as being of a psychological
nature. All this brutality demonstrates how much Brazilian society is
regulated by patriarchal logic, which seeks to keep women in a place of
submission, economic control, and moral subservience.

The intensification of violence against women is related to the
deepening of far-right practices around the world and in Brazil, also
observed in attacks against feminist agendas and women themselves.
Internet movements, such as the "red pill" (of which "Campari Bald Man"
is a part) and incels, have created an environment in which men of all
ages come together to spread hatred against women on social media,
consequently amplifying it in real life. Another facet of these attacks
comes from the executive and legislative structures of the Brazilian
state, orchestrated by political parties, the Church, and conservative
groups. This conservative and retrograde articulation seeks to
increasingly strip women of their rights over their bodies, attacking
any initiative to combat domestic violence and even the abuse of
children and adolescents. The right and far-right seek to reinforce the
image of women as objects of male property, subservient and controlled,
which encourages violent attacks against women simply for being women.
They seek to maintain the logic of "one conqueror and one conquered" in
social relations, as Emma Goldman pointed out in her analyses of the
conditions of women in society.

It is urgent to advance in the fight against the state and capitalist
structures that sustain this reality of misogyny and violence against
women - cis and trans. Investments and public policies for the
protection of life have been insufficient to guarantee a dignified life
for women. Furthermore, what is touted by governments (federal, state,
and municipal) as investment in these policies is actually applied
without real planning and without the concrete participation of women's
movements. Governments do not guarantee progress in overcoming the
spread of hatred and violence. Electoral disputes have increasingly led
parties that claimed to be on the left to align with the right, bringing
them closer to conservative institutions, churches, practices, and
discourses. Social transformation to guarantee a dignified life for
working women requires advancing towards direct struggles and grassroots
organization alongside the people.

Thus, we must fight for a society free from oppression, with gender
equality, and which, therefore, brings an end to violence against women.
The only way to achieve this is by ending the capitalist-statist and
patriarchal society. This goal is only possible through organization,
direct action in the streets, and class struggle, strengthening
self-governing popular power to build a world free from sexism, fostered
by libertarian socialism!

DESTROY SEXIST CULTURE!

DESTROY THE PATRIARCHY, WITH THE OVERTHROW OF THE CAPITALIST-STATIST SYSTEM!
