In 2005, journalist Rose Leonel began a long emotional, financial and legal battle after her ex-boyfriend released unauthorized intimate images of her. In 2011, Lola Aronovich began receiving threats for writing feminist texts on her blog. The following year, actress Carolina Dieckmann was also forced to deal with the consequences of the dissemination of nude pictures, after her email was hacked. In 2015, journalist Maju Coutinho was the target of a racist and misogynist campaign on social media. Councilwoman Marielle Franco was murdered in 2018.

Since then, the increase in women's online presence has been accompanied by an increase in violations of their freedoms.
