AVICO Brasil – Association of Victims and Families of Victims of Covid-19

The Association of Victims and Families of Victims of Covid-19 – AVICO Brasil was founded on April 8, 2021 in the city of Porto Alegre/RS, from the indignation of two human rights defenders, Gustavo Bernardes and Paola Falceta, with the inefficiency and negligence of the State in the face of the multiple consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic in the lives of Brazilians. The collective is made up of survivors and family members of voluntary victims and has as a priority objective to represent the general and individual interests of its members (and non-associates) related to the victims of COVID-19. The association has also been creating therapeutic encounter groups with bereaved people. In June 2021, it filed with the Attorney General's Office (PGR) a criminal representation against President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) for negligence in relation to the pandemic. In August, he filed a request for the president's impeachment.
