30 Cooperation Circles

URI Brazil Website

URI’s 30 Cooperation Circles in Latin America and the Caribbean address a wide range of social, environmental and economic issues using an interfaith platform.

Groups in Brazil focus on human rights, religious tolerance and poverty. The rights of Indigenous populations historically have been marginalized, leaving them with little access to education or employment. In responseto this critical issue, in2008 URI’s Latin American Cooperation Circles spearheaded an unprecedented gathering of indigenous leaders from 11 countries, resulting in an Indigenous Council to work for Indigenous intellectual property rights, formal education for Indigenous children and youth, and environmental protection.
