Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: And furthermore, what future should our country build for women?
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: Despite everything we have done, such as the dial 180 hotline, the Maria da Penha Law and the law that defines the crime of femicide, men continue to assault and kill women.
Even with the increased penalties for femicide, with up to 40 years' imprisonment for the murderers, men continue to assault and kill women.
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: We cannot resign ourselves.
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva: That is why I launched the National Pact Brazil against Femicide, which I signed in February, bringing together the three branches of government to protect women's lives.
