The World Cup and Olympics Popular Committee of Rio de Janeiro launches the fourth version of the Mega-Events and Human Rights in Rio de Janeiro Dossier. e €rst version, launched in March 2012, outlined a broad picture of human rights violations related to the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, concerning questions of housing, mobility, work, sports, public safety, information,  participation  and  the  economy.  Unfortunately,  three  years  after  that  publication, some of those situations have exacerbated.

The City of Rio de Janeiro is the stage for several projects, initially aiming at the preparation of the city for the 2014 Wold Cup, and, now, for the 2016 Olympic Games. Developments include new sporting facilities, renovation of existing sporting equipment, infrastructure for urban mobility (modernisation  and  expansion  of  the  Underground,  construction  of  bus  corridors  and  urban transportation  systems,  road  works  and  renovations  at  the  International  Airport  Tom  Jobim), and urban restructuring projects.

This version of the Dossier brings new and upgraded information covering the following topics: housing, mobility, work, sports, the environment, public safety, gender, children and adolescents, and  information  and  budgeting.  Furthermore,  it  reports  the  resistance  actions  of  the  Popular Committee and alternative proposals for the project of a fully inclusive city, with democracy and social justice, and adds boxes containing several violation cases which illustrate the seriousness of the incidents in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
