Brazil

Brazil is a constitutional, multiparty republic governed by a democratically elected government. Elections are reported to be free and fair. There were reports that members of the security forces committed numerous abuses. The government did not always take credible steps to identify and punish officials who may have committed human rights abuses.

The overall score indicates that there are substantial risks of potential human rights violations in this country. This may also include the tourism sector. Relevant risks for the tourism sector are, e.g.:
  • Government corruption
  • Extensive gender-based violence
  • Lack of investigation of and accountability for gender-based violence
  • Threats of violence against members of racial and indigenous groups, LGBTQI+ persons
  • Trafficking in persons

For better comparability, we have converted the original scores of the indices to a uniform scale of 1-100 (1 most negative, 100 most positive).

In the following table you find these recalculated values and the original score in brackets behind them.

For information and a link to the original index click on "?" in the table.

The Overall Score is the geometric mean of all converted values for each country. It is subcategorized in five risk categories with colour gradations that can be seen in the map.
