THE RIGHT TO LIVE
A booklet published in 2006, designed to generate reflection within indigenous communities. Using simplified, easy-to-understand language, the booklet explains the laws that protect children’s rights and tells the true stories of victims and survivors of infanticide. We plan to translate this booklet into other indigenous languages from all over Brazil.
