Justice for social cohesion. The case of Lorenza Cayuhan and “The 100 rules of Brasilia”

In this documentary, we focus on the case of Lorenza, a Mapuche woman in custody who was forced to give birth in shackles and in the presence of male prison officials.
This case turned into judicial proceedings for the defence of the rights of persons in custody that achieved procedural and legislative changes in Chile, aimed at preventing this type of situation from happening again. All this in the framework of “The 100 Rules of Brasilia” on access to justice for people in vulnerable situations.
