Abstract

Within the intense spatial transformations taking place in the city of Rio de Janeiro due to mega events, can be found the most diverse types of rights violations. The right to housing violated by forced and arbitrary removals became a central theme for social movements that claim the right to the city. Thus, the article analyzes some struggles for the right to the city, to decent housing and against classist and racist urban policies. In addition, here are forms of organization and struggle against practices of human rights violations. This article also intends to analyze and highlight the strategies developed by the state in addition to capital to dismantle the resistance movements.
