Produced by VoteLGBT, Care and Courage: LGBTphobic Political Violence in Brazil presents unprecedented data, intersectional analyses, and testimonies about the political violence of gender and race that affects LGBT+ leaders in Brazil. While exposing the severity of the attacks, silencing, and exclusion that shape these leaders' trajectories, the book also proposes ways to recognize care as a political technology and a democratic horizon. Born from innovative methodologies such as the Sentinela project and the Cuida+ initiative, the research combines big data, interviews, and digital monitoring to map the various forms of violence, from institutional environments to social media.
The book affirms the power of dissidence to expand the meaning of democracy and calls on political parties, institutions, and civil society to ensure that LGBT+ people can occupy spaces of power with dignity, safety, and permanence.
Every purchase has an immediate impact ā all proceeds go directly to the Cuida+ program, which provides free online therapy sessions for LGBT+ political leaders working on the front lines across Brazil.
