<Brazil femicide law signed by
President Rousseff>
Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has signed a new law which sets
tough new penalties for the killing of women and girls.
Murders linked to
domestic violence will carry sentences of between 12 and 30
years.
President Rousseff said the new law sends a clear message to women
that the state would protect them.
She said 15 women were killed daily in
Brazil.
In other cases - such as the killing of a pregnant woman, a woman
who's just given birth, girls under 14, or women over 60 - the new law provides
for even longer jail terms.
