To mark Black Awareness Day (Dia de Consciencia Negra) in Brazil, Fight for Peace’s Rio de Janeiro Academy have launched a new photo exposition: ‘Out of the struggle, I ascended from Africa!‘ (‘Sou da Luta, sou afro ascendente!’).
In Brazil, Fight for Peace works in Complexo da Maré, a group of 17 favelas in Rio de Janeiro that are home to 132,000 residents – over half of which are children, adolescents and young people.
