This is our latest article on<\/i>\u00a0the new coronavirus as it impacts Rio de Janeiro\u2019s favelas<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

May 6, 2021\u2013With over 4000<\/a> people just in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas dead from Covid-19, we have now entered the most critical phase where threats from food insecurity are competing with those from the pandemic. Families are struggling due to a combination of high rates of unemployment, lack of government support and skyrocketing food prices. Now more than ever, Rio’s favelas require attention from the international community.<\/p>\n

Below, favela-based community organizations have provided us with links to their virtual fundraising platforms and bank accounts in order to purchase foodstuffs and hygiene products. The number of campaigns has surged in recent weeks, in response to the third and most deadly wave of Covid-19 to hit Rio de Janeiro. Favela community organizing\u2014which has been the only front of attack against Covid-19 in these communities given the complete absence of government policy\u2014stands as a testament both to the severity of the situation and the efficiency and organization of Rio de Janeiro communities. The below solutions come from the favelas themselves and thus guarantee direct, dynamic, and effective responses to local needs.<\/p>\n
