In January 2018, while the space was being prepared to be inaugurated, Normal died from a stray bullet at Flávia Farnese St. He was 32 years old.
The name Normal Space was given, then, as a tribute to Carlos and all the people who, like him, had and still have their lives marked by the violence produced by the war on drugs. The name Normal also intends to claim new perspectives on people who use drugs and/or who are homeless, serving as a constant reminder of the right to be “different” combined with the desire of people who are systematically stigmatized by society to be seen as "normal”.
It was no surprise that in the wake of the pandemic, poverty has increased exponentially. This is even more cruel with a population that already lived in extreme vulnerability. Delivering takeaway meals and maintaining food security for these people was the highlight of Normal Space’s work during this period of crisis. In partnership with the Women’s House of Maré, which provided the food, we delivered 300 meals every dayto people living on the streets and/or in extreme vulnerability. There have been more than 65,000 deliveries.

In 2015, Redes da Maré developed a process of approaching the drug use scene on Flávia Farnese Street, in Maré, atypical in Rio de Janeiro due to its geographic and demographic stability. Combining participant observation, creation of bonds, intervention, institutional articulation and interviews with 59 of the approximately 80 residents of the scene, an attempt was made to outline the profile and identify the demands of residents, understand the incident dynamics in the space they occupy and map the policies of service that work there. A point of convergence for urban social problems and a context marked by various forms of violence, discrimination and marginalization, the study of “cracolândia” reveals the urgent need for integrated public policies, capable of expanding harm reduction practices beyond directly related to drug use. It also reveals the importance of the mediation of a civil society organization integrated in the territory to articulate demand and supply of public policies, and facilitate the formulation of sustainable strategies for assisting drug users living in the streets.
This Collection brings together the productions of different researches and researchers linked to the Research Center on Policies for the Prevention of Violence, Access to Justice and Education in Human Rights (NUPPVAJ), linked to the Graduate Program in Social Service at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Its guiding axis is a look that avoids ethnocentric projections and listening that opens up to the demands of homeless populations for recognition, affirmation and enforcement of citizenship rights.
