Twitter posting for the attack on her, Clara Averbuck is the latest to have launched a series of digital protests to denounce violence against women, The Guardian reported, broadcast Periscopi.

What happened was what happened to hundreds of thousands of Brazilian women”, Averbock said.

“This is a daily situation, not just a temporary attack”, she stressed.

Averbock has a wound on her face as a result of the violence that is used against her. She has not yet decided whether to report the attack to the police.

She said that as an activist she has witnessed the treatment of women who report such attacks and also fear to denounce the case from possible retaliation.

These crimes are very difficult to denounce”, she said.

We have a case when you can't prove materially, it can turn against you, the aggressor can sue you. This has happened to different women. This is very common in this system”, she said.

She said she was at a party in São Paulo on Sunday when friends called a taxi to take her home. When he approached her building, the driver withdrew on a dark road and attacked her.

Monday morning, she told of the Facebook attack.

“Bota is a terrible place to be a woman”, she wrote on Facebook.

The male is built on violence, the domination and submission of what is female”, Averbuk said.
