2nd Warning Barometer on the situation of human rights in Brazil: the struggle for democracy in Brazil must continue!

Unsurprisingly, the barometer confirms that halfway through Bolsonaro’s term of office, violence, rights violations and inequality are on the rise, particularly affecting the historically most excluded populations. However, they also show the dynamism of civil society in Brazil, and how it is standing up for justice and the rights of populations, giving rise to resistance initiatives all across the country.Emmaus International, which has 9 member organisations in Brazil and is constantly working in the region for social and environmental justice and access to fundamental rights, supports this campaign more than ever. To mark the publication of this new barometer, Emmaus International shared some words from Luis Tenderini, a member of Emmaus International Board from the Americas region, on the situation in Brazil and how important it is to the Brazilian Emmaus groups to be involved in this campaign.

The Solidarity with Brazil Coalition would like to invite you to an evening of debate (in french), at which the data and results from the 2nd Barometer will be presented, on Tuesday 19th January: Halfway through Bolsonaro’s presidency, what conclusions can we draw about the social situation in Brazil?
