Brazil - social issues

Basic rights, taken for granted in developed countries, are scarce in Brazil. Education, health, safety (physical and juridical) are deficient in Brazil.
However, being a fully democratic country, Brazil is slowly improving several social indicators; the governments have been compelled by the citizens to attach more and more importance to social issues. This page pictures the situation of some social problems.
