Overview

  • Juliette Freire released a #VocêNãoEstaSozinha video on the eve of Nov. 25, assembling Xuxa, Angélica, Juliana Paes, Sabrina Sato and others to denounce femicide.
  • Participants cite stories of women killed by partners, including nurse Clarissa Costa Gomes, whose July stabbing in Fortaleza prompted Juliette to organize the effort.
  • The video encourages survivors to report abuse and seek support via the federal Central de Atendimento à Mulher at 180, which operates 24/7 by phone, WhatsApp, chat and video.
  • Messages outline forms of violence—psychological, moral, patrimonial, sexual and physical—and reference statistics underscoring Brazil’s high femicide toll.
  • In the case linked to the campaign, a court audiência de instrução is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 28, to collect testimony and expert reports before trial.
