In a troubling incident in Cajazeiras, Paraíba, two assaults against women in public occurred within a short time frame of less than 24 hours, sparking concerns over violence against women in the area. The first incident involved a woman from the nearby town of Serra Grande who was assaulted by her ex-husband shortly after leaving a Carnival celebration. Witnesses attempted to intervene, but the suspect became violent towards them as well. The assault was captured by security cameras, illustrating the public nature of the violence. The victim was treated at the Hospital Regional de Cajazeiras and was released after receiving care, showcasing the pressing need for protective measures and systemic changes to support victims of domestic violence, as it was noted she had an active protective order against her assailant. The second incident occurred later that same evening at a bar, although details surrounding this case were less defined. This spate of violence not only raises alarms about the increase in gender-based violence in specific locales but also emphasizes the importance of robust responses from authorities and community awareness to mitigate such incidents in the future.
