1.5 MILLION PEOPLE DIE BY FIREARM GUN BETWEEN 1980 AND 2018 IN THE FOOTBALL COUNTRY. THE EQUIVALENT TO 15 MARACANÁ STADIUMS COMPLETELY LOTED!


In no country do more people die this way than Brazil does. In 2012, according to the WHO (World Health Organization), there were 64,357 deaths. To get an idea, the 12 largest conflicts on the globe between 2004 and 2007 together killed 170,000 humans. In Brazil, between 2008 and 2011, more than 200,000 people lost their lives victims of murder. Of these crimes, almost 90% go unpunished.



Even with so much impunity, however, Brazil has one of the largest prison populations in the world. A time bomb ready to explode. Whether for the financial cost to the country, or for the risk of violence and constant human rights violations.



A balance of the entire period covered by the historical series of the Map of Violence reveals that 1.5 million people died by firearm between 1980 and 2018 in the country of football.
