Meeting discusses communication as a strategy for the defense of rights in the Amazon and Matopiba

Communication is a fundamental human right. The movement for its recognition as such took place throughout the 20th century, as the flow of information began to become greater and greater. International organizations such as Unesco, with the so-called MacBride Report (also known as One world and many voices) began to recognize this right, which means guaranteeing that people should be able and able to express themselves freely, produce and circulate information.

In guaranteeing this right, there are economic, social and political issues that impose inequality in this place as well, limiting the conditions for all, all and all, to be producers and disseminators of information by concentrating the means of communication and economic resources.

Interview: Gelson Henrique, from the PIPA Initiative, talks about the Peripheries and Philanthropy research

By Mônica Ribeiro

A Iniciativa PIPA lançou, em março deste ano, a pesquisa Periferias e Filantropia – as barreiras de acesso aos recursos no Brasil. Realizado com apoio do Instituto Nu, o trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a descentralização dos recursos privados para viabilizar ações e projetos daqueles que estão na ponta.

The material is also part of the project developed by Marcelle Decothé, co-founder and advisor of the PIPA Initiative, as a fellow of the Saberes Program, from Rede Comuá.

The data is representative of a universe of 607 responses from managers who work on the front lines in Brazilian outskirts to guarantee basic rights, quality of life and opportunities in communities.

The research reveals that almost half of the initiatives surveyed, 46%, did not obtain resources to carry out their activities in the last two years. And 31% of them worked for less than R$ 5 thousand a year.

Diálogo: Philanthropy, culture of giving and my community

By Cléber Rodrigues

I was walking home the other day and a neighbor walking down the street waved at me and said:

— Hey my dear, good morning. I saw some photos of you on Instagram. You were just like the boss, huh! But I didn't understand anything that was written in the caption.

I gave him a smile, joked with the kid who was attentively listening to his father, and spoke.

— Hey my friend, that was the Philanthropy Network for Social Justice seminar…

He interrupted my sentence and with a questioning face said:

— Filamp… What?
