សង្ខេប

The Comunidade da Linha is a low-income settlement of approximately 700 inhabitants. Since 2012, the community has been fighting against the Transnordestina company, which in 1997 obtained the concession for a railway network in the Northeast and now, 25 years later, is trying to vacate an area around the railway line, obtaining eviction orders for the families living there, without offering an alternative. Under these circumstances, and based on the demolition notice, the Linha Community Resists movement has held protests and launched several campaigns that have led to delays in the eviction of families and the destruction of their homes.


ការវិភាគបញ្ហា

The Linha community in the Ibura neighbourhood in Recife, Pernambuco, is a low income settlement marked by the absence of basic sanitation, which contains approximately 700 residents of which more than 80% are black and 66.5% are women. The average income of most families is below one minimum wage. This data comes from socio-economic research conducted by the community itself to incorporate into its legal fight.
Since 2012, the community has been fighting against an eviction order filed by the Transnordestina company which, in 1997, obtained the concession for a Northeast railroad network and now, 25 years later, is claiming repossession of an area around the railway line that cuts through the community. In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict intensified, when one of the lawsuits was judged in favour of the company, condemning an initial 20 families to forced eviction without alternative housing.
In order to disperse the residents, the company decided to divide the lawsuit into five separate court cases linked to the size of the areas to be vacated around the railway line, which vary from 6 to 21 metres. The smallest of these threatens 155 residences, while the largest would affect 210. Twenty residencies have already been served a sentence of demolition.

Under these circumstances, and based on the demolition notice, the Linha Community Resists movement has held protests and launched various campaigns which have led to delays in the expulsion of families and the destruction of their houses.
The community has raised public awareness in the city with a demonstration on a busy avenue, with wide media coverage, especially because of the health restrictions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the slogan "stay at home". A contradiction, since the recommendation to stay at home was broken by the State itself, through a concessionary company that promotes forced evictions.
In this context, a number of advisors and social movements joined the residents, and the Linha Community Resists Collective was formed. This coalition came up with a series of tactics to mobilise support, involving lobbying in the territory, mobilising residents through assemblies, movie theatre debates, cultural activities and door-to-door canvassing.
Through the Grassroots Human Rights Centre (Centro Popular de Direitos Humanos: CPDH) and the Architecture, Urbanism and Society Cooperative (Cooperativa Arquitetura Urbanismo e Sociedade: CAUS) social studies were conducted and urban alternatives developed for the conflict. These studies were presented in public hearings in Recife’s Council Chamber and led to the opening of an inter-institutional negotiating table to seek a housing solution for the community.
Another important front was engagement in the National Zero Evictions Campaign, a network of social movements and organisations from all over the country, united against evictions in 2020; this national mobilisation led to the suspension of evictions during the pandemic in Brazil through a measure of the Supreme Court initially until the end of 2021, being extended first until March 2022, then until June and, at the moment, until October 2022.

We held ongoing meetings to debate the coalition’s direction and define the next steps. Constant contact helped several residents get involved in the activities at different times and we continue to mobilise in the territory today.

ការពណ៌នាខ្លីអំពីការអនុវត្តសកម្មភាព /យុទ្ធនាការរបស់អង្គការ

The Comunidade da Linha Resiste is a collective articulated between residents, technical advisors and social movements, emerged in 2021 from the context of violations of rights and aggravation of conflicts involving the Comunidade da Linha, in Recife/Pernambuco, and the company Transnordestina , with threats of removal from the community. This network carried out several actions such as mobilisation of residents in assemblies, movie theatre debates, cultural activities,
political advocacy actions with the executive, legislative and judicial powers, realisation of social and urban studies, in addition to communication actions and campaigns. Other actors were also involved, such as social movements, universities, parliamentarians, as well as national networks to fight evictions. These actions resulted in the postponement of the expulsion of the families and the destruction of the houses. We do not have a hierarchical structure, we decide everything in assemblies and meetings, always taking the community’s wishes into account, within the constraints of each situation.
