In Brazil, nearly 40% of women experience some form of physical abuse by the age of 16, with about 14 assaults occurring every minute nationwide.
January 2024 marked a disturbing 26% increase in reported abuse from the previous year, highlighting domestic violence as a leading cause of mortality in the country.
Despite legislative improvements, these often fail to manifest in the daily lives of the victims.
The Stand With Her program, spearheaded by Juliana Soria, a committed Brazilian lawyer, aims to shield victims from domestic violence.
Juliana has successfully helped numerous women and their families find safety, despite operating with limited resources.
Her services include:
Juliana receives an overwhelming 100 requests for support each week but is only able to address a handful due to resource constraints. To assist more women and enhance the network of lawyers, Juliana needs your support.
