As of March 11, 2026, a total of 1,981 protective measures have been granted in Paraíba, Brazil, according to the Domestic Violence Observatory of the Paraíba Court of Justice (TJPB). This equates to an average of 28 protective measures issued each day. Alongside this, the TJPB has adjudicated 21 cases of non-compliance with these protective measures, while receiving an additional 89 new cases, showcasing a growing concern for the enforcement of protection for victims of domestic violence throughout the state.

The statistics for the previous year highlight an alarming trend; in 2025, there were 712 new cases of non-compliance with protective measures, representing a staggering 177% increase compared to 2024, where only 257 new cases were registered. Moreover, in 2025 alone, over 10,600 protective measures were granted, maintaining a daily average of 29. These figures shed light on the pervasive issue of domestic violence in Brazil, particularly in Paraíba, underlining the increasing demand for legal protections for victims against their abusers.

Recent reports from the Brazilian Public Security Forum have indicated that in 2024, around 13.1% of women who experienced gender-based violence reached out for help, indicating a significant gap in assistance and support for victims. The increasing number of protective measures and cases of non-compliance signal the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to address domestic violence and support victims adequately, as the system grapples with the challenges of enforcing protective measures effectively in the face of rising incidents of abuse.
