SOUZA, Lilian aparecida de    CASSAB, Clarice. “If those who are there do nothing, we will do everything from here”: inequality and solidarity in brazilian peripheral areas. []. , 115, pp.105-111.   31--2020. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18055/finis20358.

This work is about the life of men and women who reside in peripheral areas in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. It aims to reflect on the many diverse actions of solidarity carried out by those individuals to ease the impacts of the disease that deepens and highlights the social-spatial inequalities in the country, focusing on the “Periferia Viva” campaign, in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais - Brazil. The initiative starts in the neighbourhood of Santa Cândida, but it extrapolates its limits by reaching families from different peripheries of the city, establishing, in this way, territorialities sutured by solidarity and opening possibilities for claiming rights.
