Madalena Gordiano was just eight years old when she knocked on Maria das Graças Milagres Rigueira’s door to beg for food in Minas Gerais, a state in southeastern Brazil.
What Gordiano went through is an extreme example of the legacy of more than 300 years of slavery in Brazil.
Gordiano’s captivity ended thanks to an anonymous neighbor, allowing her to enjoy Christmas in a women’s shelter while waiting to be reunited – coronavirus restrictions permitting – with some of the siblings she begged for something to eat with 38 years ago.
