ABSTRACT
Brazilian movements and civic organizations have been participating in transnational mobilizations for human rights, ecology, peace, social justice, alter-globalization, and other similar aims. These interactions promote and consolidate universal humanitarian values arising in the contemporary world in Brazilian social movements, and also promote recognition of the singularity of the demands for changes coming from populations that have been historically excluded, such as the landless, the indigenous, black people, garbage collectors, and so on.
