i-icon World Bank Income Classification:Low Income The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations. i-icon Least Developed Country:Yes Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability. i-icon Gender Inequality Index:0.575 GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa. i-icon Gender Development Index:0.723 GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

An enabling legislation, policy and social environment is in place to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls.

Obstacles towards creating an enabling legislative, policy and social environment to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls (VAWG) remain. To contribute to addressing the complex issue, UN Women actively implemented a multi-stakeholder partnership strategy actively collaborating with the federal and sub-national governments, Judiciary and the civil society, as well as the United Nations Country Team (UNCT), UN human rights mechanisms, civil society partners and, in special, women human rights defenders (WHRDs), their organizations and networks, to carve out spaces for tailored solutions to tackle VAWG. These relied strongly on strengthening networks of women and girls, promoting prevention and using a human rights-based approach to gender-based violence that acknowledges the diverse aspects of VAWG and how it impacts the rights of women and girls in all their diversity, as black, indigenous, quilombola, women in urban peripheries, among others. In this context, in 2021 UN Women worked with 516 girls from Rio de Janeiro peripheries to promote gender equality in and through sports, eliminate harmful gender norms and prevent gender-based violence as part of the project One Win Leads to Another, in partnership with the International Olympic Committee. As a result of their enhanced capacities, 41 per cent of these girls presented positive changes in attitudes towards gender norms and stereotypes and 40 presented positive changes in attitudes regarding VAWG. The CO also turned to small grants as a tool to strengtheninstitutional capacities of organizations of women and girls in sports as well as WHRDs. The grants contributed to 12 grassroots organizations enhancing their communication and networking skills, leading them to participate in local and national advocacy and networking activities, as well as to develop collective action to prevent COVID 19 spread. Among these organizations, one expanded its local network after the grant from 13 to 17 municipalities in the state of Pará, and another organization engaged with and contributed to national agendas of the women’s movements (such as the campaigns of Feminist Uprising Against Femicide, the celebration of the 15th Anniversary of the Maria da Penha Law and the International Day Against Violence Against Women). A City Law that led to the creation of the Women’s City Council of Altamira, a space to enable and catalyze the social participation of Altamira’s women in the decision-making and in policy formulation for gender equality, was approved partially as a result of the joint advocacy efforts of these two grantees. Another grantee, an organization of mangaba fruit pickers, contributed to repealing a change in the legislation that gives them the right to use the Mangaba Extractivist Reserve in the state of Sergipe, as a result of strengthened capacities on human rights and leadership. The mobilization also contributed to them carving up spaces for dialogue and incidence at state level. Additionally, UN Women also supported strategic exchanges among WHRDs and their engagement in international forums and human rights mechanisms as a platform for advocacy and collective action, such as COP 26.Following UN Women contributions, the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Observatory, an initiative led by the Human Rights and Minorities Commission of the House of Representatives with the support of OHCHR, held public hearings and produced reports evaluating the implementation of recommendations made to Brazil in the context of the UPR on violence against women, women in politics, and gender perspectives on the situation of human rights defenders. These are expected to guide national counterparts on decision making, public policy and engagement with the mechanism in the next cycle of revisions, which will also be a tool for human rights-based advocacy by UN Women in the country.
