The human rights in Brazil are a very big issue. Brazil as a democratic country is known as an organized civil society. The biggest problem in Brazil that is affecting many people is the police brutality. The police is uncontrolled, many innocent people are being murdered by them. People that try to make justice by going to another police station are killed or threaten. The police do this to scare people out of testifying against them. Even urban homeless groups suffer threats, attacks and excessive use of force at the hands of the police. This is not only happening on streets, its worse in prisons. The cases are not solved and the same thing is happening over and over again. In 2009 a fifteen year old girl was arrested, nobody knew who she was or the crime she committed. They didn’t tell her what crime she committed. They put her in a jail with other several men and from the first day she was there, she was sexually abused. Nobody listen and the police didn’t do anything about it. the governor of the city didn’t do anything just gave her community service and the “apologize”.
According to the 2009 Human Development Report, Brazil ranks among the top 10 countries with the greatest degree of economic inequality in the world, with 31% of its people still living below the poverty line. My personal opinion is that this is very sad and disappointing, I mean it is harsh to hear that the people that is being brutally abused and that they can’t do anything about it because the police is not going to do anything; it is only going to make it worse. I think that everyone has the right, the human right to be treated as “human”. Nobody deserves this type of mistreating. The police should be the people that are going to protect you, and make you feel safe in your home.
what do you think of this :( ?
