Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva sparked controversy this week after making a joke about violence against women.
Then, reacting to a study which found such abuse often occurs after football matches, the 78-year-old leader joked that “If the guy is a Corinthians fan, it’s OK,“ in reference to his favorite team.“Besides not being funny, Lula’s comment normalizes a Brazilian tragedy that should worry everyone, especially the president: at least 10,600 women have been victims of femicide since 2015,“ Amnesty International wrote on X.
