WITH the advent of the far-right administration of Jair Bolsonaro in January this year, the anti-human rights, homophobic, misogynist and racist rhetoric that has marked the president’s entire political career is now being translated into a huge erosion of human rights of everyone in Brazil.
Bolsonaro’s right-wing policies have plunged the country into a complex crisis, with more than 13 million people without jobs and poverty and child mortality rising again.
His administration has encountered a wave of protests and direct activism from groups and individuals determined to stand firm against a politician who threatens the rights to life, health, freedom and land of millions.
