From AFP News Agency.

Alana Anisio Rosa, 20, politely turned down the man from her gym who kept sending her flowers and chocolates. A month later, he burst into her home and stabbed her around 50 times with a pocket knife.

As Alana recovered, videos on TikTok went viral in Brazil of men beating and stabbing mannequins with the slogan: "Training in case she says ‘no.’"

In Brazil, alarm is rising about a surge in misogynistic "Red Pill" content online, which experts warn may be contributing to crimes against women in a country already struggling with high rates of gender-based violence.
