With the goal of putting an end to violence, different segments of society, including Redes da Maré, have been meeting monthly in conversation circles, meetings, and community mobilization activities to devise strategies to confront these forms of violence. The meetings proposed by this Forum aim to build paths and collective spaces for listening, support, and proposal formulation that allow us to act and confront, in an organized manner, this process of claiming the right to public security in Maré.
The meetings take place every second Tuesday of the month, at the auditorium of Bahia Municipal School, from 10 AM to 12 PM.
The Maré March was an event organized in 2017 by the " No More Violence Forum! Another Maré is Possible..." due to an escalation of violence in Maré. In the first three months of that year, 13 residents were killed, and 17 were wounded in police operations. Health and education services were interrupted, with 17 days without health care and 11 days without school, during that period. The March aimed to draw the attention of public authorities and the entire society to the issue, which should concern everyone. On that day, more than 5,000 people walked the streets of Maré.
Harm Reduction Plan for Violence in Maré (2018)
The organization of the proposals systematized in the document contributed to the construction of a Harm Reduction Plan for Violence in Maré. A public consultation was conducted with residents on the streets and through Redes da Maré’s social media. The Forum received responses from 287 people, and there was a public debate that brought together about 100 people who discussed and brought proposals to reduce armed violence in Maré. The guiding question of the debates was: "What can the State do to decrease violence in Maré?"
Manifesto Letter from the No More Violence Forum! Another Maré is Possible... (2017)
Manifesto letter produced by Maré residents, Associations of Residents, and institutions that operate in the territory. It describes the reasons why the Forum demands an end to violence in Maré. It is unacceptable that all who live and work in Maré must experience situations of violence in a daily basis! This array of violence brings emotional, physical, and financial harm to everyone who lives and moves through Maré, directly impacting the social and economic development of the region.
