Brazil Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Brazil. The data is structured into country-year and country-month summaries to facilitate longitudinal tracking of conflict trends.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal shifts in civil unrest using country-month demonstration counts
• Evaluating annual security trends through country-year political violence totals
• Monitoring risks to non-combatants using civilian-targeting event aggregations

Strengths

• Expert-curated data from ACLED
• Weekly update cycle
• Distinguishes between political violence and civilian-targeting events

Limitations

• Aggregated data lacks specific event coordinates or actor names
• Requires external registration for granular event-level records
