In a recent report released by the Instituto de Segurança Pública, data has revealed a concerning increase in psychological violence against women on the internet, with over 3,000 victims recorded in 2025, marking a 20.6% rise from the previous year. This alarming statistic coincides with International Women’s Day, drawing attention to the ongoing issues faced by women in digital spaces. Overall, the report highlights that a total of 59,743 women experienced psychological violence, including both online and in-person incidents, indicating a broader societal concern about women's safety across various environments.

The report's findings are part of the second edition of the Panorama of Violence Against Women, which tracks trends in violence since its inception in 2015. The data suggests not only a troubling increase in incidents but also points to potential triggers, such as heightened internet usage and increasing awareness of such abuses. The average of 163 victims per day reflects a persistent threat that women endure, whether in digital or physical contexts, forcing society to confront these issues more proactively.

As the discourse around violence against women evolves, advocacy groups and policymakers are urged to develop stronger protections and responses tailored to combat both online and offline violence. This report not only emphasizes the urgent need for support systems for victims but also calls for preventive measures and educational initiatives to address the root causes of such violence, marking a pivotal step in the fight for women's rights and safety in Brazil.
