The End of Violence

First image is from the World Pulse Magazine (Global Issues Trough the Eyes of Women), that had just arrived at home. So well printed and beautiful, this winter/spring issue is entitle Embody.
The picture was done at Caracas, during the World Social Forum open march, a few years ago, a group marching for women rights and against violence. Bellow, the original image without crop.

"Women who are victims of various kinds of gender-related violence and discrimination will testify at a 'world tribunal', as part of the Latin American phase of the VI World Social Forum, in Caracas."


Southern Exposure

A photo taken on board a passenger boat on the Upper Rio Negro, at Amazonas state, illustrates the latest issue of New Internationalist magazine, a British publication with focus on issues related to global justice, sustainability, poverty, social responsibility and social inequality.

The column Southern Exposure highlights artists and photographers from the majority world. It's the fourth contribution I did with the magazine's column (previous can be seen at this link). On this issue I wrote about the natural cycles of the region and their importance for the communities living along the curse, the balance of the resources offered by the river and the jungle.

Women's Day slideshow



Brazilian Women's Day was celebrated with the World March of Womem and joined protests against war and G. W. Bush politics, at his brazilian visit. During the walking, a small group of "punks" and protesters, not more than 15 young, tryied to close the avenue lying down in front of some cars and provoking disturbs.
São Paulo's Military Police Force chose to explode gas bombs and shoot plastic bullets in a crowd of almost 10.000 protesters, hurting people and causing panic, as a way to control this group of young.

Mostly of the brazilian editorial media focused only the violence, accusing all the protesters of an "infantile, bizarre and innocuous spectacle".

Well, I tell a different story about this day.
