Question

“Rocinha is a very good place to live in. We don’t need to go into another neighborhood to buy a product. There are 5 public schools, business community and private day- care centers. There are thousands of markets selling fresh food and vegetables. In addition, There are two large supermarkets and an appliance and electronics store. There is shopping in Rocinha. Residents use the malls in the neighborhoods around the favela, but feel discriminated against by their lack of material wealth. The local are friendly and there is not much prejudice among Rocinha residents. The problem is the discrimination slum dwellers suffer from middleclass neighborhoods looking down on us. Formerly, there was a prejudice towards young people; all young children were thought to be drug dealers. The reality has changed a lot; young people are more interested in leisure activities and learning. (…)”
