Six medical students from Santo Amaro University (UNISA) in Brazil were expelled after their inappropriate behaviour at a women's volleyball game. The students, also male futsal players, were observed with their pants lowered to their ankles on the sidelines. At the same time, the university's team celebrated its volleyball championship victory at São Camilo University.

The situation escalated when the students rushed the court and paraded around the gym, engaging in a group masturbation act, to the dismay of the volleyball players and spectators. The names of the expelled students have not been disclosed.
With a history spanning over 55 years, Santo Amaro University issued a statement condemning the students' actions, stating that such behaviour is "completely antagonistic to its history and values." The university has taken swift action by expelling the involved students.

The Brazilian Ministry of Women has also addressed the incident, calling for stringent action against the students. The Ministry emphasised the importance of combating "all types of gender-based violence". It stressed that such misogynistic attitudes should never be normalised but addressed with the "rigour of the law."

This incident has sparked discussions on the need for continued efforts to break centuries of misogynistic culture and to address gender-based violence in all its forms.
