At the beginning of March, the Humanitas360 team was in São Luís, Maranhão, to coordinate efforts to open the Cuxá Social Cooperative at the São Luís Women's Prison Unit (UPFEM). With the construction work completed at the site where the cooperative will operate, we went to visit the women who participate in the project, bring the first work materials and mobilize the local community: several partners, from the public and private sectors, are with us on this journey. A week later, due to the coronavirus epidemic and the risk of contagion in an extremely vulnerable population such as the prison population, we had to temporarily interrupt our work inside the unit. We continued, from our homes, mobilizing designers, communicators and businesswomen to participate with us, creating models of future pieces and organizing a support network.
