Grief drives minister's quest for justice
The Guardian Weekly
|April 07, 2023
At her inauguration as Brazil's new minister of racial equality, Anielle Franco described the country she wanted to work for.
"One where a Black woman can access decision-making spaces without having her life taken by five shots in the head," she said.
It's doubtful whether Franco would have been involved in politics had it not been for the tragedy on 14 March 2018. Marielle Franco, Anielle's sister and a socialist city councillor in Rio de Janeiro, and Anderson Gomes, Marielle's driver, were murdered by unknown assailants who opened fire on their car as they returned from a political event. Marielle was 38, and had been an outspoken critic of Brazil's extrajudicial killings and police brutality.
