| Summary: | The population living in the peripheral regions of the city of São Paulo, the richest city in the country, suffer from the economic, social, and geographical inequalities of the city, penalized by the lack of adequate public services of education, health care, welfare, leisure, culture, and public transportation, living in a condition of exile in the city itself. Poor families seek to live in the central areas, where there is better urban infrastructure and alternatives for work, but they find extremely precarious housing in the slums at very high cost. Since 1988, the Gaspar Garcia Centre for Human Rights has struggled for the rights of this excluded population and has been able to improve living conditions for marginalized families by guaranteeing the right to own housing and through social insertion. |
