Evidence snapshot for Brazil
Brazil has implemented several major evidence-backed interventions addressing gender-based violence, digital inclusion, and internet access. Brazil's Maria da Penha Law achieved a 10% reduction in domestic-setting femicide rates over 2000–2011, while Program H's gender-transformative curriculum for young men has been implemented or adapted in 32 countries with 14 documented impact evaluations. For digital equity, the Centro de Recondicionamiento de Computadores trained over 10,000 citizens and distributed 50,000+ reconditioned devices to school students, while Internet Brasil provided free 20 GB/month e-SIM chips to 159,449 low-income students across 944 schools in 8 states by end-2024, and Wi-Fi Brasil operates 15,000+ satellite hotspots serving 9+ million Brazilians in rural and indigenous communities. The evidence demonstrates sustained policy focus on violence prevention and broadband access, though most digital programmes are reported descriptively rather than through rigorous impact evaluation.
