Tania Gonzalvez and Louis Carlos de Sousa are just two of the more than 100,000 residents of the Complexo da Maré, a favela, or slum, just a few miles from Rio de Janeiro's international airport. As the World Cup draws nearer, the host city's so-called "pacification" efforts have intensified, including installing permanent police units—and federal security forces—in select areas like Maré.
