Domestic violence against women (DVAW) is a major issue in Brazil. It tends to disproportionally affect women of disadvantaged backgrounds, putting them at a higher risk of poverty and potentially increasing gender-based inequities. Commentators have linked social distancing measures introduced in Brazil to address the spread of COVID-19 to significant increases in DVAW cases, with similar reports in other countries. COVID-19 cases in Brazil are forecast to keep increasing, likely leading to further social distancing measures in the near future, making our research urgent to understand how policies can better protect vulnerable women and reduce the broader impacts of these measures to society.BRAVE seeks to understand how social distancing measures affect DVAW and assess the resulting societal costs of such effect. To this end, we will analyse information on DVAW and its link to social distancing adherence, poverty and the financial cost of DVAW to victims and society, focusing on Brazilian cities. We will also examine how public policies aimed at mitigating the negative consequences of social distancing influence DVAW, and how these policies could be refined to better address DVAW. We will work closely with both the local academic community and representatives of public and other organisations, to offer guidance to improve public policies for DVAW victims in the pandemic context, for Brazil and potentially other countries.

对妇女的家庭暴力是巴西的一个主要问题。它往往对处境不利的妇女产生不利影响，使她们面临更高的贫困风险，并可能增加基于性别的不平等。评论员将巴西为应对COVID-19传播而采取的社交距离措施与家庭暴力案件的大幅增加联系起来，其他国家也有类似的报告。预计巴西的COVID-19病例将继续增加，可能会在不久的将来导致进一步的社交距离措施，使我们的研究迫切需要了解政策如何更好地保护弱势妇女，并减少这些措施对社会的广泛影响。BRAVE旨在了解社交距离措施如何影响DVAW，并评估这种影响所产生的社会成本。为此，我们将分析有关家庭暴力侵害妇女行为的信息及其与社会距离的联系、贫困以及家庭暴力侵害妇女行为对受害者和社会造成的经济成本，重点是巴西的城市。我们还将研究旨在减轻社交距离影响DVAW的负面后果的公共政策，以及如何改进这些政策以更好地解决DVAW。我们将与当地学术界以及公众和其他组织的代表密切合作，为巴西和其他可能的国家在大流行背景下改善针对家庭暴力受害者的公共政策提供指导。
