Brazil Security Metrics: Overall Homicide Decline, Femicide Increase in 2025

Brazil's overall intentional violent death rate declined to a 13-year low in 2025, confirmed at 19.1 per 100,000 inhabitants. However, this aggregate improvement masks a confirmed fourth consecutive annual increase in femicides, reaching 1,571, and a rise in police lethality in Baixada Fluminense despite reduced operations. The divergence indicates persistent vulnerabilities for specific groups.
