Violence against women in Brazil manifests in several forms, including physical, psychological, moral, sexual, and property violence. Depending on the victim's needs, there are different forms of support available. Some may require medical attention, while others seek legal guidance or psychological support. In the Northeast region, initiatives are in place to help victims find the necessary assistance. The TV Globo series 'Marcas' highlights where women can receive help across this region.

In Pernambuco, for instance, a network of support that includes security and social assistance sectors is operational. An example is the Clarice Lispector Reference Center located in Recife, which provides services to women in vulnerable situations, offering multidisciplinary guidance. This center aims to provide comprehensive support for victims of violence and help them navigate their circumstances.

Each state in the Northeast has developed its own methodologies for tackling violence against women, with some initiatives leveraging technology. In Fortaleza, the 'Abrigo Amigo' program has equipped bus stops with safety devices to enhance security for women. These programs reflect a growing recognition of the need for targeted support services for women experiencing violence, emphasizing the importance of making assistance accessible and responsive to the needs of victims, which is crucial in fostering a safer environment for women in the region.
