Corinthians and Botafogo unite against femicide before clash

By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial Team

This Sunday (30th), at 4:00 pm (Brasília time), Corinthians will face Botafogo at Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship. For the match, both teams are preparing a campaign against femicide, using phrases that have generated great impact in recent months – “Who Killed?” and “Broken Numbers”.

The uniforms of Corinthians and Botafogo players will have different details for the match: the numbers on the players’ backs have been redesigned based on X-rays of women who have been victims of aggression, highlighting the “Broken Numbers” aesthetic on the front hem.

Additionally, the uniforms will display the question: “Who killed?”, followed by the names of 40 more women who were killed in femicide contexts. At the end of the match, some of the shirts will be auctioned off, and the proceeds will be sent to projects that support women in vulnerable situations.

Before the match, Neo Química Arena will also host, for the first time, an official anti-harassment training session, as a way to educate fans, collaborators, and employees working at the stadium. Starting this weekend, the Arena will have two support rooms for victims of any type of harassment or embarrassment.

Corinthians and Botafogo also highlight that, in Brazil, a woman is assaulted every two minutes. On match days, this number increases by 26%. Furthermore, the country ranks fifth in the world in the highest number of femicide cases. In 2024 alone, there was an average of four women killed per day in Brazil – 1,492 in total.

Sônia Andrade, Corinthians’ Social Responsibility Manager, spoke about the initiative between the two teams and the commitment of both institutions to the cause: “The partnership with Botafogo for such an important cause is a source of pride for us. The union of the two clubs undoubtedly strengthens the fight against violence towards women. The fight against femicide, by the way, is a recurring theme here at Corinthians. I would even say it is a priority. The numbers are alarming and we have been working with the women who are part of our ecosystem in mind, such as athletes, employees, and fans, so as not to normalize any violence against women and also to publicize all the places where help can be sought.”

She continues: “Corinthians works all year round with actions aimed at combating violence against women. I recall that the Women’s Day and Mother’s Day campaigns shed light on institutions that support women who have suffered violence and are going through some rehabilitation process. The action with Botafogo closes the year on a high note in this regard.”, she adds.
