Many slums in Rio de Janeiro have long been run by drug barons, often with links to local politicians and police. The levels of violence are comparable to a war zone. Slums have proliferated as poor populations migrate to large cities in search of work and are confronted with difficulties in finding housing. The lack of employment makes the drug trade a viable option for many young people from the slums, who see the glitter of guns, cars and women as an attractive alternative in life.(Australfoto/Douglas Engle)
