Why talk about Safety and Security in the field of community philanthropy and social justice

By Jonathas Azevedo

In 2023, Rede Comuá carried out a review and systematization of its Protection and Security Program [1], which brought a set of learnings for the technical team and its members. In this article, my objective is to share with you, the reader, some of the reflections that this process provoked in us. But first, it is worth a brief presentation of the Program.

About the Safety and Security Program

Created in 2019, the Rede Comuá Protection and Security Program arose from the interest of member organizations in jointly thinking about strategies to resist a context marked by the resurgence of attacks against civil society and the restriction of civic space promoted by the government far-right party then elected and openly against civil society.

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.

Elections in Brazil: what is the relationship between philanthropy and democracy?

By Graciela Hopstein

We are just a few days away from the second round of Brazilian elections (scheduled for October 30), which will elect a new president for the next four years. In the opinion of several analysts, it is possible that this is the most challenging moment in recent times, or even in the history of Brazil. It is important to highlight that voting in Brazil is mandatory, so Brazilians will go to the polls to choose between the re-election of a far-right candidate, Jair Bolsonaro, and a former president, candidate of the Workers' Party (PT), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who governed the country for two consecutive terms, between 2003 and 2010.
