Dear comrades,
Women collectives from the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro self organized together a solidarity campaign – Teia de Solidariedade Zona Oeste – to attend invisibilized communities in the poorest area of Rio city, which already face serious consequences from the Coronavirus crisis. Since last week, we internationalized the campaign to potentialize the capacity of the women collectives to attend those families, many of them single mothers (allerting that violence against women rose 9% in Brazil after the crisis installed in the country).
They are collectives mostly composed by black women living in the West Zone of Rio and
who historically act on several popular anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-capitalist fronts.The campaign has already reached more than 30 families, but they need more support to continue delivering emergency food and hygiene items to much more people who have lost their little income amidst the neglect of the Brazilian State. We count on your partnership to donate and/or publicize the so important campaign conducted by self
organized women in the West Zone of Rio!
Here is the link of the campaign.
