Femicide stands as a deeply distressing and widespread societal problem, encompassing the deliberate killing of women or girls. According to UOL, one of Brazil's largest news websites, the country ranks fifth in femicide rates. This stark reality emphasizes the critical necessity for comprehensive initiatives to diminish these acts of violence. Femicide is not solely a criminal offense but also a glaring indicator of the broader challenges confronting women on a global scale. Addressing femicide demands a multifaceted strategy, including education, mobilization, and legal support. It necessitates awareness campaigns and policy adjustments to establish a safer environment for women and girls.
In Brazil, a Christian organization named "Somos Todos Marianas" emerged in the aftermath of a tragic crime several years ago. Carol Costa, the organization's president, extended an invitation to "Lead by the Name" to collaborate with Somos Todos Marianas, leveraging their expertise in organizational development. The aim is to expand, enhance effectiveness, and elevate performance strategically. This collaboration involves purposeful and planned initiatives to instigate positive and lasting transformations across diverse dimensions, including structure, culture, systems, and processes.
Rodrigo Marin, Brazil's Executive Director, will oversee and guide this project. Recognizing the significance of addressing a substantial social issue, Lead by the Name is committed to actively participating in initiatives that aim to bring an end to this harsh reality. Our dedication stems from a belief, grounded in our Christian values, that we are a reflection of God's image, and this distressing reality does not align with the creation intended by God.
