Femicide in Brazil - The silent war on women | DW Documentary

In Brazil, more and more women are becoming victims of femicide. There are 1,500 cases per year — with most victims killed by a partner or ex-partner. Christiane Gomes describes the moment when her partner came into the bathroom with a gun and shot her in the face: "Where did all this blood come from?" she thought. "And what about the children?" Despite being seriously injured, she survived. But even after eight operations, she still suffers from facial pain.
