Book excerpt: With the world's fourth largest democracy having elected an oppressive, far-right government into power, emotions are running high in Brazil - today's Brazil being at risk of becoming a dictatorship again, with press freedom violations, police violence and overall human rights violations increasing dramatically in the country - especially among the LGTB community, Brazil having the highest number of transgender murders globally. Inequality is another topic this book explores, with more than fifty million Brazilians - nearly 25 percent of the population - living below the poverty line; having family incomes of no more than $389 per month and only $5.50 a day. Also, deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is a lucrative business largely driven by criminal networks that threaten and attack government officials, forest defenders and indigenous people who try to stop them; according to a report by Human Rights Watch. Hence it is very important that rule-of-law, justice, peace and prosperity are restored in Brazil.
