CGiii Comment

Suzy is a mother of many children. After living on the streets for a few years, she found a career path in activism. Drawing on her experience as a beneficiary of social programmes, she reinvented herself as a manager, and today works as a harm reduction worker within the SUS, caring for vulnerable people. She is also committed to tackling transphobia in the conservative city of Campinas, in the interior of São Paulo. Trans, Black and from the outskirts, Suzy left the streets to enter politics.


Suzy é mãe de muitos filhos. Depois de alguns anos vivendo nas ruas, encontrou na militância um caminho profissional. Da vivência como usuária de programas sociais ela se reinventou como gestora, e hoje trabalha como redutora de danos no SUS cuidando de pessoas vulneráveis. Além disso, dedica-se a enfrentar a transfobia na conservadora cidade de Campinas, no interior de São Paulo. Trans, preta e periférica, Suzy saiu das ruas para entrar na política.
