Portugal has already recorded four deaths of children linked to domestic violence in 2023, matching the total number for all of 2022. 2022 was the deadliest year for minors affected by domestic violence since 2019. The Prosecutor General’s Office (PGR) has affirmed its commitment to preventing further deaths, acknowledging the complexity of these cases. Despite ongoing efforts, the PGR admits that some situations are “inevitable,” suggesting limitations in preventative measures. The recent fatalities have prompted renewed focus on the issue of domestic violence and its devastating impact on children. Authorities are facing pressure to strengthen protections and interventions for families at risk. The PGR’s statement indicates a challenging reality where complete prevention remains elusive.
