” Duas mulheres são estupradas por minuto no Brasil “

Segundo novo levantamento feito pelo IPea, duas mulheres são estupradas por minuto no país. O trabalho foi realizado com base na pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística ( PNS/IBGE), e o Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificações ( Sinan), Ministério de Saúde, e é claro, chama atenção por conter uma realidade tão comprometedora como essa que a violência.
