Activists who are supported by the Brazil Fund told their stories in videos posted on the Fund’s social networks. The #sayyes for those who defend human rights series gave voice and showed the faces of human rights defenders across the country.
They articulate and take action to defend rights related to issues such as women’s rights, confronting racism, the right to land and territory and the right to free expression, organization and manifestation.
The videos were viewed thousands of times and were discussed, shared and liked on Facebook and Twitter.
