Every day, an average of four women are victims of femicide in Brazil, most of whom were previously subjected to domestic violence. Graffiti Against Domestic Violence follows ten artists who join Rede NAMI—an organization that uses the arts to promote women’s rights—to create a series of murals in the Tavares Bastos favela in Rio de Janeiro. Through graffiti, they transform public space into a site of resistance, raising awareness about violence against women and fostering a culture of human rights.
