Woman Moans In Pain From Huge Knife Protruding From Eyebrow After Drunk Husband Allegedly Stabbed Her

This shocking footage shows a woman lying on a hospital bed with a huge knife stuck deep in her face just above her eye as she says “oh my God, help me, it hurts”.

The shocking video of the Brazilian woman moaning in pain with her face covered in blood and the huge knife protruding from her eyebrow was widely shared in WhatsApp groups on Wednesday, 11th August.

The incident took place in Brazil, though it is unclear exactly where or when.

According to local media, the perpetrator of the crime was the woman’s husband, who arrived home drunk.

Local media report that the woman complained about her husband’s drunken state, which caused him to fly into a rage.

He then reportedly grabbed the knife and tried to stab his wife in the eye, striking her in the eyebrow region instead.

According to reports, the couple’s neighbours heard the woman’s cries for help and called the police.

Both the perpetrator’s and victim’s identities are unknown, as are their fates.

According to a study released by the Brazilian government in 2015, a woman suffers domestic violence in Brazil every seven minutes.

The first law specifically aimed at domestic violence in Brazil was introduced by then-President Lula in 2006. His successor, Dilma Rousseff, approved a femicide law in 2015.

The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security’s ‘WPS Index 2019/20’ ranks Brazil as 98th in the world, placing it towards the bottom of the third quintile.

The report states: “(T)he gap between Brazil’s rank on legal discrimination (58) and its overall rank on the WPS Index (98) suggests that while legal protection is an important part of the gender equality architecture, a broader set of factors shape women’s well-being. Nearly three-quarters of Brazilian women report feeling unsafe when walking alone at night. Estimates indicate that only a quarter of domestic violence survivors reach out to authorities—given understaffed and undertrained police who reportedly often dismiss such cases or require women to recount their stories in open reception areas with no privacy”.
