Conectas Human Rights is pleased to announce the addition of two new board members and associates: <\/span>Bruna Benevides<\/b> and <\/span>Natalia Viana<\/b>. Both are joining the organization to contribute to strategic guidelines, institutional policies and financial affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am very honored to join the Conectas board. The organization is undoubtedly the leading reference in human rights in Brazil and it has done essential work in defending democracy both in Brazil and abroad. I hope to help Conectas continue to grow and have an impact and I also look forward to learning a lot from its professionals. As a journalist covering human rights violations, I have always followed the work and data produced by Conectas. It will be a pleasure to contribute.\u201d Says Viana. <\/span><\/p>\n

Benevides sees Antra’s participation on the board at Conectas to be essential: \u201cIt demonstrates our ability to engage in broad coordination, involving various movements that, while focused on their own agendas, collaborate with other causes.\u201d So, \u201cmy joining Conectas, an internationally recognized institution, means Antra, represented by me as the president, is positioning the struggle of trans and travesti people at the center of other issues, such as the fight against racism, environmental protection and the defense of fundamental social, political, and economic rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Camila Asano, Executive Director of Conectas Human Rights, the arrival of Bruna and Nat\u00e1lia represents a significant advancement for the organization. \u201cWith their remarkable careers and unwavering commitment to the defense of human rights, both bring extensive experience and a renewed perspective to Conectas,\u201d says Asano.<\/span><\/p>\n
