OLIVEIRA, Cinthya Pires. Voice: Communication and Mobilization Networks for Social Changes. Media & Jornalismo [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.42, pp.53-71.  Epub June 30, 2023. ISSN 1645-5681.  https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_42_3.

Despite the recurring debates about the need to direct the gaze of everyday society towards practices that guarantee human rights in peripheral regions such as Brazilian favelas, the subject tending to have less space in the mainstream press will be deepened. On the other hand, mechanisms for strengthening citizenship can be observed in initiatives in local initiatives such as the “Voice of Communication Communities” (VOZ), a NGO, as a strategic process and instrument for other rights such as security, basic sanitation, health and education. From the field of Communication for Social Change (Rogers, 1974; Melkote, 2018), through bibliographic and documentary research combined with data analysis on social networks, this study aims to reflect on the performance of “VOZ”, launched in 2005, Rio de Janeiro/Brazil, and reverberates nationally and internationally. As a result, we will observe that VOZ experiences collaborate for the construction of citizenship and social changes for peripheral regions

Keywords : voice of communities; social change; local networks; citizenship; human rights.
