Ana Clara’s Story 

Ana Clara was thirty and lived on the periphery of Porto Alegre, Brazil.  She was in a relationship with a partner for six years and had one daughter.  The relationship was very unstable and there was a lot of conflict and violence which resulted in repeated break-ups.  On New Year’s Eve 2007, Ana Clara was stabbed to death by her partner.
