Public Manifestation
Thursday June 3rd, 2008

People gathered in front of the brazilian Deputy Janete Pieta’s office making campaign for the approval of the Muwaji Law. The bill has been sitting on her desk for more than a year now.

The Muwaji Law proposes the compulsory notification of cases where children are at risk of infanticide. (The lack of reliable data is, without doubt, one of the biggest obstructions to the eradication of this practice). The Muwaji Law also proposes an implementation of human rights educational programs in the indigenous societies and the deepening of inter-ethnic dialogues, with the aim of guaranteeing the quality of life and dignity of children who are vulnerable in their own communities.
