Original review summary

The review says the proposal makes femicide a separate crime with its own penalty; it does not mean that every killing of a woman is treated as femicide or that a woman’s life is worth twice as much under the law. It explains that femicide concerns gender-based violence and that other killings of women may be classified as homicide for different reasons.[S1]

Additional context

The Chamber of Deputies approved Bill 4,266/23 on September 11, 2024. The review says the bill proposed 20–40 years’ imprisonment for femicide, compared with 6–20 years for simple homicide and 12–30 years for qualified homicide. [S1]
