Article Synopsis
- Violence against women is a critical public health issue in Brazil, necessitating a study to understand mortality patterns linked to aggression.
- The research analyzed data from 2011-2016 to compare death rates from violence among women who reported previous aggression against their overall female counterparts, showing a significantly higher risk for the former.
- The findings indicate that black women with lower education levels are the most affected, highlighting a failure in support systems to adequately protect and care for these vulnerable populations.
