A partnership between Brazil Fund and OAK Foundation enabled the support to six projects aimed at fighting human rights violations of people in pre-trial detention. This partnership supports medium and large projects, for periods longer than a year focusing on the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.

The initiatives were chosen in 2014 through a call conveyed via letter of invitation, after going through the analysis of a committee of independent experts.
