The research “Girls in Ceará – The life trajectory and vulnerabilities of adolescent victims of homicide” is the result of an effort made by the Violence Prevention and Combat Committee, of the Legislative Assembly of Ceará, to understand the trajectories of 114 girls, aged between 10 and 19 years old, murdered in 2018.
