Fazenda Rio Grande, located in Brazil, has celebrated two consecutive years without any registered cases of femicide, according to data from IPARDES presented in the "Women of Paraná" panel. The absence of femicides is viewed as a significant indicator of the effectiveness of local protective measures and the successful implementation of public policies aimed at safeguarding women's lives. This achievement is seen as encouraging news as it reinforces the importance of continued efforts in preventing gender-based violence.

The local government attributes this positive outcome to a continuous and engaged approach towards prevention, awareness, and integrated action through its municipal network. Efforts include proactive outreach programs, community presence, and various support services aimed at educating the populace and addressing domestic violence cases. In 2025 alone, the Women's Nucleus and the Maria da Penha Group (GMP) recorded over 530 incidents, along with numerous support visits, indicating a robust system of monitoring and preventive measures aimed at areas with higher reported incidents of domestic violence.

The commitment to maintaining zero femicide rates involves not only operational efforts from the municipality but also a stronger push for close support and counseling services to reach women in vulnerable situations. As the municipality continues to strengthen its infrastructure and community programs, local leaders hope to serve as a model for other regions looking to combat violence against women, thereby translating these successes into broader societal change and enhanced safety for women overall.
