Associação Redes de Desenvolvimento da Maré
Redes da Maré is a civil society organization that was born from community mobilization in the 1980s in the favelas of Maré. Formalized in 2007, its mission is to make the necessary networks to enforce the rights of the population of the 16 favelas of Maré, where more than 140,000 people live.

“Outra Visão” (Another View) is a podcast produced by Redes da Maré and developed by the Right to Public Security and Access to Justice Initiative. It examines the critical issue of inadequate forensic investigation in the crimes that take place in the Maré favelas of Rio de Janeiro’s North Zone and explores how a thorough investigation using new tools in forensic science could promote justice for victims and families affected by state violence.
By highlighting the neglect of forensic science in death cases, Outra Visão exposes how incomplete or compromised investigations can lead to impunity. This crucial analysis is based on direct observation and fieldwork conducted during police operations.
