The complaint that students at Colégio Anísio Teixeira, in Feira de Santana, around 100 km from Salvador, had drawn up a list with the names of girls classified as “most rapable” sparked protests and concern among students and their families. Four students were suspended while the facts were investigated, and the Civil Police initiated proceedings to investigate the case.
The complaint gained repercussion on social media on Thursday (8). According to a publication made by a person who identified himself as a student at the institution, the episode occurred during a school prank, in which students wore masks with images of men involved in cases of violence against women, such as former goalkeeper Bruno and former player Daniel Alves.
According to the report, the students would have made comments about sexual violence and, on the same day, a list with the names of girls from different classes would have been discovered. The document would have been displayed on the wall of a classroom.
The school denies the existence of the list and states that it adopts pedagogical measures in response to the reported situations. The Civil Police listen to people to clarify the facts.
Despite the repercussion, important points have not yet been officially clarified, such as the existence of the document, who participated in its preparation and what happened during the alleged hazing.
See below what is known and what remains to be clarified about the case.
What is known about the complaint?
A person who identified himself as a student at the school published a report on social media stating that the episode had occurred during school hazing.
According to the publication, five students participated in the activity wearing masks with images of men involved in cases of violence against women, including former goalkeeper Bruno, convicted of the murder of Eliza Samudio, and former player Daniel Alves, convicted of rape in Spain, but later acquitted by the Spanish courts.
According to the report, the students had made comments, in a joking tone, that women should be raped before being murdered.
The publication also states that, on the same day, a list drawn up by 9th grade students was discovered, with the names of girls from different classes. The students would have been classified as “most rapable”, and the document would have been displayed on the wall of a classroom.
The information is part of the complaint published on the internet and is still the subject of investigation.

The school also said that the students mentioned in the complaint will receive psychological counseling and that it intends to promote awareness campaigns about violence against women.

‘That sounds like a warning’
On Saturday (10), Joelma Nascimento, mother of a student at the school, said she was concerned about the students' safety and criticized the lack of information provided to families.
She told TV Subaé that she found out about the case after a statement from the school was released. When talking to her daughter, she discovered that one of the students involved in the allegations was a classmate of the teenager.
"So far, the school has not spoken to any parents. We don't really know what happened, just the buzz, right, that people are commenting on," he said.
The mother also demanded action from the management and greater participation from those responsible for the students involved in the investigation.
"That sounds like a warning, right? They are warning you about what they are capable of doing," he said.
What does the school say?
In a statement, Colégio Anísio Teixeira stated that it monitors the reported situations and adopts pedagogical measures supported by legislation, respecting the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA) and the rights of those involved.
The institution reaffirmed its commitment to a safe and respectful school environment, free from violence, discrimination and embarrassment.
The management also stated that the disclosure of information is limited by the need to preserve the privacy of the students involved.
