A horrifying case of domestic violence shook Brazil last Sunday (March 30), when a man violently assaulted his wife, going as far as to forcibly remove one of her silicone implants with a kitchen knife.
The brutality of the attack reignited discussions about escalating domestic abuse, with at least one in three women and one in four men experiencing some form of it at one point in their lives, as per US statistics.
In an effort to understand the underlying causes of domestic violence, Bored Panda reviewed the case alongside Amber N. Marentette, a DV Coordinator and Victim Advocate from Gulfport Mississippi, who explained that crimes of this severity don’t arise in isolation.
