Millions of Brazilians do not have a birth certificate or any other identity papers, which prevents them from going to school, seeing a doctor, finding formal work or receiving a state pension.

Escóssia found that documentary exclusion in Brazil has a structural basis, which begins with a lack of integration in the systems of bureaucracy, such as notaries, who are responsible for drawing up birth certificates, and the state secretariats of Public Security, which control the registry. Other factors include parental abandonment, which is practically endemic in Brazil, racism and sexism. “I met a woman who has no papers because her father said he wasn’t going to have a ‘very black’ daughter to his name, and another whose father only registered his sons because ‘women don’t need it’,” she says.

Sad

I know 80% of these invisible citizens will be black

The discrimination we have in this world. What did black man do to deserve this? To me dark skin and well as light skin is beautiful, it doesn’t matter the skin shade or color. There is no such thing as too dark skin color to me. Black is beautiful. All races are beautiful in fact.
