Possibilidades de enfrentamento do genocídio em São Paulo

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the construction of a networked movement that seeks to protect and combat the violence suffered by young people in the city of São Paulo, especially poor young people, mostly black, living in impoverished and peripheral territories. It begins with the concept of “juvenícidio” to express conceptually and politically the vertiginous increase of the actions of the Penal State to the detriment of the Rule of Law, characterized by the mass incarceration and the homicides. In Brazil, the genocide of black youth expresses this reality, it is considered that homicides of young people, is not only a matter of public safety, but public health, so to face the complexity of this problem is necessary to build networks, which transcend the area of health and public safety. In this way, civil society, represented by collectives that historically struggle in this network with NGOs, Pastoralists, professionals from various public and private areas can build a possibility of giving visibility to this reality and seek forms of protection and confrontation.
