In Brazil, violence against women and girls (VAWG), which is a manifestation of gender-based violence (GBV), is a major concern. Intimate partner violence is the most common form of violence. The COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020 added new layers of complexity to the already unsettling GBV situation in the country. Services that are part of the national network to end violence against women, including health, social assistance, public security, and justice services, were stalled during critical transmission peaks, and faced budget cuts, as resources were redirected to fund emergency response actions related to the pandemic.

"This book is about teens and teen fans. Analysis of their practices is determined by other fans, siblings, friends and also digital tools. The Internet is changing how fans behave throughout life and very few books deal with this issue. This is one of them. Digital tools are of particular relevance among teens and adolescents, who use mobile technology as a mediator of texts, which they interpret, rebuild and communicate. Mobile devices are seen as tools that have revamped social relationships, though face-to-face interpersonal relationships remain important. This backdrop has revolutionized traditional fandom practices of the young, such as the interpretation of texts, civic engagement and the act of fans coming together around an object they feel positive about. The starting point of the book looks at social and cultural approaches to human development and also studies on the identity and activities of fan communities. Various case studies, stemming from the author's participation in these fan communities over a period of 5 years are covered in depth and analysed from an ethnographic approach, combined with big data analysis in some chapters. The book will be of interest to anyone who wishes to understand how young people's participation in fan communities relates to relevant forms of thinking, expression and communication in the 21st century. It will be useful to many types of readers: primarily people interested in exploring how theory and practice are interwoven and secondly communicators, teachers, and other audiences with a mass media and psychology, sociology or education background. Last but not least it will be of interest to political leaders, on and offline community managers, community projects coordinators, and activists"--
