Dr Mauro de Souza expressed deep concern and indignation over the increase in femicide rates in the country. The Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil also expressed deep concern and indignation in response to the recently released data on the increase in femicides in the country. “Each femicide is an affront to the sacredness of life and an open wound in the body of Christ. As a church committed to justice, we affirm: women’s lives are sacred and nonnegotiable,” she said. We call on our communities to strengthen networks of welcome, protection, and support for women experiencing violence.
