A sample survey conducted by Nexus Pesquisa e Inteligência de Dados between January 11 and March 10 reveals that mentions of misogyny on social media platforms surged by 257.5% over one month. The analysis showed that the topic was referenced approximately 457,000 times on platforms such as X, Facebook, and Instagram between February 11 and March 10, compared to around 127,000 mentions in the prior 30 days. This remarkable increase highlights a growing awareness and vocalization of misogyny related to national cases of rape and femicide that have captured public attention.

The rise in discussion surrounding misogyny on social media is attributed to recent incidents of gender-based violence, which have prompted outrage and calls for action. Particularly alarming trends that encourage violent responses to women's rejection have gained traction online, further fueling public discourse on the urgent need for regulation of these platforms. As a consequence, there are increasing demands for legal frameworks that would criminalize misogyny in Brazil, acknowledging it as a fundamental issue linked to the country's public safety crisis that disproportionately affects women.

The data reflects an emerging societal consensus that motivates calls for judicial measures to combat misogyny, emphasizing that it should be perceived as a critical element of the broader public safety crisis resulting in daily violence against women. Notably, the phrase 'misogyny is a crime' was sought 725 times on Google between March 6 and 13, illustrating a significant public interest in legal accountability regarding this pervasive issue. The research underscores the need for a comprehensive approach to combat misogyny, including both legislative action and social awareness campaigns to effectively challenge the norms that perpetuate gender-based violence.
