A 25-year-old pregnant woman stands near uncovered water storage containers in her home in a run-down neighborhood in Recife, Pernambuco state. She showed Human Rights Watch how sewage flowed directly into the streets in her neighborhood and how dirty, standing water accumulated in areas near her home. “People don’t care how we’re living here,” she said. She said she could not afford to purchase mosquito repellent to protect herself from the Zika virus during her pregnancy.
