I Was Supposed to Be at School

The children living in Maré, an area of low-income neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, wrote letters to their government showing what happens to them during the violent police raids that are part of their everyday life. Their words and pictures tell stories of sadness, fear, joy, and anger. They are also a call to uphold the right of every child to live without violence.
