On 15 March 2025, in Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais), dozens of members of feminist groups and friends and family members of a woman victim of femicide carried out a march to demand justice for her case and the end of gender-based violence.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 15, 2025, a peaceful protest demanding justice for femicide victims took place in Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais state), Brazil. The small-scale march involved feminist groups and victims' families, with limited direct impact on supply chains.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Minimal local logistics impact — Peaceful protest may cause some traffic delays in parts of downtown Belo Horizonte, but remains distant from major industrial zones and logistics hubs
• No impact on Minas Gerais mining operations — While the region is a major Brazilian iron ore production area, protest locations are separated from mining operational areas, causing no disruption to extraction or transportation
• Normal agricultural supply chain operations — Coffee and sugar production areas in Minas Gerais state differ from protest locations, causing no disruption to agricultural logistics

3) Watch points

• Changes in subsequent protest scale — Track potential expansion of protests due to similar social issues and possibility of increased participation scale
• Belo Horizonte downtown traffic normalization — Monitor recovery status of major road networks and public transportation operations after protest conclusion
