What’s
Tecido Social?
Tecido
Social (Social Ties) is a communication project
put into effect by the Rede Estadual de Direitos
Humanos- RN (Human Rights Network of Rio Grande
do Norte, Northeast Brazil), and like the latter,
it remains a work in progress. It is an electronic
bulletin that is sent via email to more than 20,000
readers both within Brazil and outside. It is
received by the majority of organizations, members
of organized social movements and state and federal
institutions, all working in the Human Rights
field (as much civil and political as social,
economic, cultural and environmental). It is also
received by many communication networks - both
official and alternative - from television stations
and newspapers, to radio stations and various
means of digital communication networks, all on
the local and national level throughout Brazil.
For this reason, it serves as an important agent
in the promotion of Human Rights and the distribution
of human rights news, enabling what occurs in
Rio Grande do Norte to be projected throughout
the world.

What’s
the Human Rights Network - RN?
The
Human Rights Network - RN (REDH-RN) is the first
collection of organizations in Brazil to think
about the Federation as a unified whole, attempting
to reach all the districts in Rio Grande do Norte
(RN) with one demand: Human Rights for all Potiguares*!
The Network is a combination of organizations,
social movements, and institutions within Rio
Grande do Norte that work in the human rights
field, as much civil and political, as social,
economic, cultural and environmental. Its principle
objective is to create Human Rights bodies comprised
of public officials, members of political parties,
churches, media, etc. in all of the 167 districts
of RN. Its mission is to put an end to human rights
violations against the people, inform and mobilize
the local citizens, and put forth denunciations;
in short, to promote the human rights of all the
people in Rio Grande do Norte.
The organization that conceived of this project
and which is putting the REDH-RN into effect is
the Center for Human Rights and Popular Memory
(CDHMP) of Natal (Rua Vigário Bartolomeu,
635—Ed. “21 de Março,”
salas 606/607—CEP 59025-100—Natal/RN—Phone:

*Potiguar
is the Portuguese term used to describe those
originally from Rio Grande do Norte, the northeast
