En 1983, la biofarmacéutica brasileña Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes sobrevivió a dos intentos de homicidio en su casa. El primero la dejó paralizada de la cintura para abajo después de que le dispararon mientras dormía. En el segundo intento, casi fue electrocutada en la ducha. En 1991, Penha vio cómo el juicio que condenó a su exesposo por los ataques fue anulado. Cinco años después, un nuevo juicio lo declaró culpable, pero salió en libertad.
