As much as the fame is of a welcoming country, prejudice is a reality in Brazil. Violence against women, black people and LGBT people – and other populations – is widespread and every day news involves such crimes.
+ "Homophobia and racism have the same DNA"
The Brasil Post website organized a chart with the worst Brazilian states for LGBT (lesbian, gay bisexual, transvestites, transsexuals) women and black people to live in, based on research that reflects discrimination.
The Institute for Applied Economic Research (Ipea) reports that the possibility of a young black person being a victim of homicide is 3,7 times greater than that of a white person. And that 15 women are murdered as victims of feminicide every 90 minutes.
