<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Brazil is characterized by strong social contrasts, which lead to considerable tensions in society. One major problem is the extremely unequal distribution of wealth and land ownership as well as the poverty rate<\/strong>. In 2022, more than half of all Brazilians were affected by food insecurity. In addition, the country is also deeply divided politically<\/strong> following the reign of far-right President Bolsonaro (2018-2022). <\/p>\nAnother problem is security<\/strong> in the country. Violence and murder rates in Brazil are among the highest in the world. Drug and gang crime and excessive police violence are part of everyday life for many people, especially in the poor districts of the big cities. <\/p>\nThis omnipresent violence continues to affect families. Violence against women<\/strong> is above average in Brazil: on average, a woman is murdered here every seven hours.<\/p>\nInadequate mental health care is a major problem in Brazil. Many victims who suffer from the consequences of violence do not receive adequate treatment. These gaps in supply exacerbate the already difficult living situation of many people in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>
