Children of the Drug Trade: A Case Study of Children in Organised Armed Violence in Rio De Janeiro

> 7Letras, Rio de Janeiro, 2003, 245 p.,pdf
This study was conceived following Viva Rio’s participation in a number of international seminars and events that dealt with the involvement of children in war and major armed conflict. Through this participation, Viva Rio became aware that the role of children and adolescents participating in the territorial disputes of drug factions within Rio de Janeiro has more in common with the lives of ‘child soldiers’ in war situations than with the lives of traditionally defined gang members found in other urban centres around the world. Despite this similarity, and despite the fact that drug faction-related armed disputes are causing firearm-related mortality rates in the city comparable to combat-related casualties in many modern wars, Rio de Janeiro is not in a state of war. Consequently, children and adolescents working in an armed capacity for drug factions in Rio de Janeiro are categorised as juvenile delinquents, criminals or gang members.
