The results of the selections will be announced in May and July, respectively.
Monitoring
During the first trimester of this year, the Human Rights Lawyers Collective (CADHu) welcomed a visit from Taciana Gouveia, projects coordinator at the Brazil Fund. The group works to guarantee human rights for imprisoned adolescents and women and has received support from the foundation via the annual 2014 selection round. Among its other activities, it forwards cases of mistreatment and torture occurring at the Fundação Casa in São Paulo to the justice system.
