It was a fantastic collaborative research experience working with Silvia’s team. We were able to negotiate access to communites and provide unique access to marginalised and hidden 'voices' from with the Amazonian reserves.
‘Silvia Pinheiro is a talented scholar, creative and well-networked collaborator, effective project manager and committed activist. It has been a great pleasure to work with her on our UKRI funded ‘Global Cities Free of Slavery’ network’ and I look forward to continuing our professional partnership in the future’.
I met Silvia at an event she organised on social business and microcredit at FGV where I got in touch with sector 2.5. Since then, we have become partners in this trajectory of social impact in Rio's communities. To my friend and partner Silvia, much gratitude for the friendship and a heart bent on transforming the scary reality of Rio's favelas through education.
Dr. Silvia is very special! Patient and articulate, she knows how to answer our questions and deal with them clearly and professionally, improving our processes and relationships for the solid construction of the organisation.
I met Silvia Pinheiro in 2017 when she was my lecturer at my master’s degree. Today we are friends and partners at the Contemporary Slavery Research Centre. Silvia is tireless in the search for human dignity, fighting for the rights of those living in vulnerable situations.
