> Dilma was affected by the Tucuruí hydro-power dam, she saw her city being
> flooded with the opening of the dam gates, she suffered the complete
> negligence of those responsible for the dam. 30 years since the building of
> the dam Dilma and her community haven't received any kind of compensation
> for their losses; 32 thousand people were affected by the dam.

> Dilma Ferreira participated in the audience with the former president of
> Brazil Dilma Rousseff in 2011, handing over MAB's document demanding a
> national policy of rights for those affected by dams and with a special
> attention to the women affected by dams.

> "What gives us strength is the movement, is the struggle not to let what
> we have suffered to happen to others," explains Dilma Ferreira, when asked
> about the reason to be part of MAB in an interview for the Amazonia Portal,
> on the occasion of the struggle in Brasilia during MAB Women's National
> Meeting in 2011.
>
> According to information until now, MAB activist from Pará is killed along

> another sad moment for the history of those affected by dams, who
> celebrated today the International Day of Water. We demand from authorities
> the rapid investigation of this crime and safety measures for those
> affected by dams throughout Brazil.
