In Brazil, domestic violence endangers the lives and limits the aspirations of women across all age groups. One woman—Panmela Castro of Rio de Janeiro—has crafted a unique approach to speak out against the abuse she has witnessed her mother, aunts and friends experience, as well as experienced herself. By producing inspiring graffiti art with others who have survived or witnessed domestic abuse, Castro has united women in a common cause: to break the silence on domestic violence and protest its normalization. She is now the president of the Nami Network, an organization which promotes women’s rights through graffiti. Castro’s project has spread to Peru and neighboring countries, and she was named one of the 150 women who have shaken the world by Newsweek.
