The goal of this study is to describe the safe places children aged 0-8 inhabit outside of their homes in the low-income Rio community of Rocinha, and to report how key actors in that community think the number and quality of safe places for children can be improved. The study has implications for young children throughout urban Brazil. October 2016.
