Evidence snapshot for Brazil
Brazil has implemented several evidence-based interventions addressing gender-based violence, digital inclusion, and accessibility. Brazil's Maria da Penha Law achieved a 10% reduction in domestic-setting femicide rates between 2000–2011, establishing specialist courts and emergency protective orders as a model cited by UN Women and ECLAC. On digital inclusion, CDI/Recode has reached 1.9 million people cumulatively since 1995 and served 69,306 in 2025 through IT and citizenship schools in favelas, while the Centro de Recondicionamento de Computadores has distributed over 50,000 reconditioned devices to public-school students and issued 26,000+ digital-skills certificates. Hand Talk's AI avatar translator for sign language has reached over 3 million users, though independent deaf-sector bodies caution it cannot replace qualified human interpreters.
