The Favela 20 forum was launched with a focus on including favelas in global discussions. The initiative aims to address the challenges faced by nearly 10% of the Brazilian population living in these communities. Led by Erleyvaldo Bispo and in partnership with Voz das Comunidades, the forum aims to improve the quality of life for favela residents.
Key areas of focus for the F20 include combating inequality, promoting mental health, ensuring access to basic necessities, addressing the climate crisis, and fostering digital inclusion. The forum plans to present its recommendations at the G20 Social Summit in Rio de Janeiro later in the year.
This initiative, supported by the G20, highlights Brazil’s commitment to social participation and creating a lasting impact during its G20 presidency. The event was live-streamed by Voz das Comunidades, emphasizing the importance of inclusion and representation.
