Brazils former human rights minister, Silvio Almeida, faces sexual misconduct accusations from the federal police, leading to potential Supreme Court trial. Almeida, a prominent voice against racism, was fired last year due to similar allegations. Among the accusers is current minister for racial equality, Anielle Franco, who supports President Lulas decision. The case underscores Brazils ongoing struggle with violence against women, with over one-third of women experiencing sexual or gender-based violence in 2025.
