Once a year the most diverse social movements in Brazil demonstrate together at the grito dos excluidos. Argemiro Ferreira de Almeida, a member of our project partner Comite da Copa Salvador, has recorded this year's demonstration in a short film.

The demonstration "grito dos excluidos" (cry of the excluded) unites every year different social movements from Brazil, which are particularly affected by the unequal distribution of wealth. Thus, movements of the landless, indigenous, homeless, street children, the marginalized favela population, black people and many more take part in the grito dos excluidos.
Families looking for their children
Our project partners are also involved in this traditional march. Argemiro Almeida, representative of our project partner Comites Populares da Copa Salvador, sent us a video of this year's grito dos excluidos with impressive scenes of black women searching for their sons or husbands. The missing women have become victims of the constantly increasing violence against young black men.
Read more about the increasing violence against young people in Brazil in the in-house newspaper of terre des hommes schweiz. (issue of June 2013).
