1 Monthly Situation Overview II: Venezuelan asylu seekers and igrants living outside of shelters, Boa Vista city July 2018 BACKGROUND Since early 2015, populations have been leaving Venezuela due to social, econoic and political turoil. It is estiated that 54,000 people have entered Brazil, of which 25,000 are currently in the northern city of Boa Vista, capital of Roraia state. 1 Throughout 2018 the rate of arrivals has increased, stretching the city s capacity to provide access to basic services. There are currently inforation gaps on the needs and vulnerabilities of Venezuelan asylu seekers and igrants in the city, particularly those living outside of shelters anaged by huanitarian actors. REACH, in support of the United Nations High Coissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and partners, is conducting regular area-based assessents to assist huanitarian planning and response. This report follows an initial baseline conducted in the city 2 and ais to provide an update on vulnerabilities and priority needs of affected populations. KEY FINDINGS Iproved access to livelihoods, as well as iproved eployent conditions, was highlighted by FGD participants as a priority need for Venezuelans living across Boa Vista. The ajority reportedly lack inforation on job opportunities as well as their labour rights. Shelter is reportedly becoing ore difficult to access. During the onth of July, FGD participants indicated increasing challenges faced when renting housing, due to rising rental prices and perceived discriination by landlords. The population living in vulnerable conditions 3 did not appear to decrease during July. Whilst soe populations had oved fro these locations into anaged shelters which had free spaces due to the voluntary relocation prograe, 4 newly arrived populations continued to transit through or reain in these conditions. Venezuelans in Boa Vista reportedly generally have access to health and education services. However, FGD participants indicated that services are becoing increasingly strained resulting in delays in accessing services as well as issues with the quality of service provided. FGD participants indicated a desire for increased integration with host counities. Although relations are generally without tension, they noted that cultural and language exchanges and events, as well as inforation capaigns, would help reduce perceived discriination and increase tolerance. 1. Boa Vista Municipality, July June baseline report available here: English, Portuguese 3. This includes public spaces, tents, open air, akeshift shelters, unfinished or heavily daaged buildings with liited access to basic services. Due to the transitory nature of uch of the population living in these conditions, inforation on each vulnerability case can be considered relevant at the specific tie of data collection only, and aggregated inforation is indicative only. 4. Prograa de Interiorização (in Portuguese) is a governent-led voluntary relocation prograe, ipleented with the support of UN agencies, that ais to facilitate the integration of Venezuelan asylu seekers and igrants in the Brazilian society and labour arket. The prograe includes transportation elsewhere, housing, and integration support. Map 1. Assessed neighbourhoods k 0 1,5 3 Silvio Leite METHODOLOGY União Nova Cauaé Cauaé São Francisco Legend Macro Area boundary Assessed neighbourhood Military area Forest Rivers and lakes REACH conducted priary data collection between 13 July and 6 August 2018 in 29 of 57 neighbourhoods in Boa Vista city (see Map 1 above). Data was collected through 29 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with a total of 203 Venezuelan asylu seekers and igrants (114 woen and 89 en). Participants were selected fro their neighbourhood of residence and chosen based on their knowledge of ulti-sectoral needs of populations. Further, cases where people were living in vulnerable conditions were verified through direct observation and data collection in the locations reported by FGD participants. Given the ethodology used, the inforation presented here should be considered indicative only. 1

2 DEMOGRAPHICS According to data collected by the Municipality of Boa Vista, 5 the ajority of Venezuelans currently living in Boa Vista are aged 15 to 60 years (74%), and over half of Venezuelans in Boa Vista are ale (57%). Both FGD and KIs indicated that little to no indigenous groups are currently living outside of shelters in Boa Vista other than in acro area. 6 DISPLACEMENT In July, areas of origin of Venezuelan FGD participants reained siilar to participants assessed in June. The ajority were fro the Northeast region (56%, priarily Monagas and Anzoategui states), followed by Bolivar state in the south (19%) that shares a border with Roraia state (Brazil). Siilarly, push factors for leaving Venezuela and pull factors attracting populations to Brazil reained the sae as the previous onth. The ost coonly reported push factors were econoic factors such as inflation, uneployent and low wages, as well as the lack of food and basic services in Venezuela, in particular health and education, followed by increasing insecurity. The ost coonly reported pull factors were the geographic proxiity and lower cost of travelling to Brazil in coparison to other destinations, as well as the fact that it is possible for Venezuelan nationals to cross the border without a passport. SHELTER As during the previous onth, Venezuelans are reportedly living priarily in shared rented housing, though with hundreds observed in vulnerable shelter conditions across the city (see ap 2 on following page). Whilst in June it was reported that soe Venezuelans were residing in spaces granted by host counity ebers or sharing hoes with Brazilian failies, this was less coonly reported during July. Further, across the city, it has reportedly becoe increasingly difficult for Venezuelans to rent houses, due to perceived discriination by landlords and increasing rental prices. In acro-area, FGD participants reported that landlords perceive Venezuelans to be less likely to be able to eet rental coitents, and as such, soe landlords give preferential rates to Brazilians. 5. Data was collected betweeen 28 May and 9 June through interviews with 9,000 Venezuelans; sapling was not representative. 6. There is currently one shelter (located in acro area and called by the sae nae) accoodating Venezuelan indigenous populations currently living in Boa Vista. Factsheet with July inforation is available here: LINK LEGAL STATUS The legal status of Venezuelans living in Boa Vista did not change significantly between assessents conducted in June and July, with the ajority reportedly registered with the Brazilian Federal Police. 7 According to FGD participants, the ost coon legal status is to be registered as asylu seekers. This legal pathway requires less docuentation and the process is perceived to be easier than others. The second ost coon legal status of Venezuelans in Boa Vista is reportedly the teporary residence. FGD participants indicated that Venezuelans often prefer this docuentation as it is perceived to facilitate local integration, ease return to Venezuela (ainly in order to send oney and food to their faily ebers), facilitate local integration and allow greater protection due to its longer validity. 8 However, the teporary residence process requires ore docuentation and typically takes longer than the asylu seeker application. ACCESS TO INFORMATION In Boa Vista, Venezuelan FGD participants reported to have little inforation about their legal rights and accessible legal services in cases of violation of their rights. Inforation is coonly obtained through inforal sources, in particular personal acquaintances and social edia (Facebook and Whatsapp groups). According to FGD participants, in July, there was increased access to obile internet, through both public and private connections. This was considered a priority for FGD participants as it enables the to follow up with their legal docuentation process as well as counicate with friends and faily ebers. LIVELIHOODS Venezuelans living in Boa Vista face substantial challenges to accessing livelihoods opportunities, priarily due to a perceived discriination and language barriers, as well as an absence of certain docuentation and lack of jobs available in the city. Further, they are also exposed to significant labour risks such as lack of safety equipent provided for work, sexual and oral harassent (in the case of woen) and traffic accidents 9 either while working or couting. According to FGD participants, for the ajority of Venezuelans the priary livelihood opportunities available are inforal. Typically, Venezuelans reported to work fro 10 to 15 days in inforal activities paid on daily basis, at a wage varying between 20 and 50 BRL. 10 The ost coonly reported occupations for en were stoneasons, carpenter and gardener, while woen reportedly work ainly as cleaners, hairdressers, anicurists and street vendors. 7. Federal Police is the body responsible for the registration of foreign nationals. 8. Under Brazilian legislation (2017) Venezuelans nationals have the right to apply for teporary residence in Brazil, which is valid for 2 years, whereas asylu seeker status needs to be renew annually. 9. Due to coon types of eployent of Venezuelans (street vendors, roadside gardeners), the fact that any use bicycles rather than cars to travel, as well 2 as reported targeting of Venezuelan pedestrians or cyclists by intiidating acts using otorised vehicles BRL = 0.26 USD.

Venezuelans living in vulnerable conditions 11 in Boa Vista Across Boa Vista, there are large nubers of Venezuelans currently living in public spaces, tents, open air, akeshift shelters, unfinished buildings or heavily daaged structures.

Further, in soe of these areas, populations reported the need to ove around regularly to find soewhere to sleep, due to street clearance by authorities. Whilst any people reported to be interested in oving to a anaged shelter, a inority expressed an unwillingness to do so. This is due to the perception that they will have less privacy and security in the shelters. In general, the perception of anaged shelters has iproved in the past two onths, with fewer people reporting to be unwilling to ove to the. k 0 1,5 3 k 0 1, This includes public spaces, tents, open air, akeshift shelters, unfinished or heavily daaged buildings with liited access to basic services.

4 ACCESS TO SERVICES Health As was the case in June, the ajority of FGD participants reported that although they do not have ajor issues accessing health services, there is soe perceived discriination towards the by both hospital staff and Brazilian clients. Further, reflective of the increasing strain on services, in July participants started to report issues related to health service capacity, such as long queues for health services and facing long delays between initial diagnosis and subsequent treatent. This excess of deand was particularly notable in Cauaé acroarea, reportedly due to the high concentration of Venezuelans in this area. Education FGD participants reported that children were generally able to access education services, though those without the required identification docuentation coonly faced difficulties and delays in registration. Further, a lack of places is reportedly becoing an increasing issue, particularly in, União, Cauaé and acro-areas. Participants also noted that integration of students could be iproved in soe schools, as there were reports of bullying or discriination towards Venezuelan students by both students and teachers. Huanitarian assistance In July, FGD participants and vulnerable populations reported that there had been an increased deand for food and other assistance over the past onth. As such, in soe areas such as near the Floresta anaged shelter and along the Rua 13 de Septebro in São Francisco, vulnerable populations are reportedly receiving less assistance when copared to June. As in June, the ost coonly reported aid actors providing this type of assistance were religious institutions, followed by civil society actors including non-organised host counity ebers. Separately, over the past two onths, there has reportedly been increased access to governent assistance prograes, such as the Bolsa Failia 13, as ore people have ore infroation about these prograes through various eans. Overall, participants noted that the priority need of Venezuelans living across the city was increased access to livelihood opportunities. PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE In general, FGD participants reported that the relations with host counities had not changed significantly since June and were generally positive, with generosity and cordiality noted as the 4 predoinant attitudes of Brazilians towards Venezuelans. However, isolated incidents of tension or aggression continued, particularly in União, São Francisco and Cauaé neighbourhoods. The ost coon incidents reported were perceived distrust and discriination, verbal harassent, and intiidating acts using otorized vehicles against Venezuelan pedestrians. To facilitate integration into counities and iprove relations with host counities, Venezuelan FGD participants were particularly interested in cultural and language exchanges or projects. Soe participants also indicated that inforation capaigns would be beneficial, to increase host counity awareness of the reasons for Venezuelan oveent to Boa Vista, as well as to proote tolerance and fair treatent. PROTECTION Vulnerable population As shown in Map 2 and the acro area aps on the following pages, large nubers of Venezuelans continued to live in public spaces, tents, open air, non-used public buildings or abandoned/daaged houses. Throughout July, parts of these populations reportedly oved into anaged shelters, which had spaces available as soe previous residents left to participate in the voluntary relocation prograe. However, the influx of population into the city continued on a reportedly daily basis, resulting in overall increased nubers of people living in these conditions. 14 Protection concern for children As reported in June, child labour 15 was reportedly prevalent across the city, ost coonly in São Francisco, Cauaé and acro areas. The ost coon type of labour reported in FGD discussions was child begging, with soe sporadic reports of street vending and plastic waste collection.

5 Macro Area Profile: Cauaé Cauaé is a relatively new acro area in the peri-urban area of the city that contains nuerous buildings under construction. These are occasionally provided by the host counity as shelter for Venezuelans in exchange for security or aintenance. Further, Liberdade neighbourhood has a high concentration of Venezuelan residents due to its centrality and the presence of Ataíde Teive and Venezuela avenues, where street vendors carry out their activities. Shelterless population in this acro area have been living near institutions that provide assistance such as the Catholic Counity of São Bento and Floresta Shelter, and also in the northern neighbourhoods of Cauaé and Said Saloão.

6 Macro Area Profile: São Francisco São Francisco acro area, located along the Branco River in the northeast of the city, often serves as a transit location for newly arrived Venezuelans as it contains the ain adinistrative and coercial centre of Boa Vista, as well as the ain bus terinal. There are large nubers of Venezuelans in central neighbourhoods, including any living on the streets priarily in 13 de Setebro and Sao Vicente neighbourhoods, though there are fewer Venezuelans living in Paraviana, Caçari and Cinco de Outubro. After location and centrality, the availability of livelihood opportunities was reported as a second ost coon reason for people choosing to live in the acro-area. Many of these opportunities are reportedly inforal or irregular, in occupations such as gardeners, street vendors, or house cleaners.

7 Macro Area Profile: Centenario acro area hosts a relatively large nuber of Venezuelans, priarily living in rented houses though there are cases of shelterless or vulnerable groups across the acro area. The priary reasons that Venezuelans choose to settle here are the presence of faily ebers or friends, as well as the low cost of housing, with rental prices varying between 250 and 500 BRL. There are particularly large nubers of igrants and asylu seekers fro Venezuela living in Buritis, Pricua, Asa Branca and neighbourhoods, which are attractive due to the presence of services and coercial activity, notably along the Ataíde Teive avenue.

8 Macro Area Profile: Nova Nova acro area is located approxiately 10k fro the center of Boa Vista, and presents a lower concentration of Venezuelans in the area. Beyond the presence of faily ebers and personal acquaintances, the low cost of housing and services, as well as the proxiity to workplaces, otivated Venezuelans to reside in this region. The neighbourhoods with the highest concentration of Venezuelans are Raiar do Sol, Nova and Bela Vista. Rental roos, predoinant housing option in the area, have prices less than 500 BRL, in houses shared by 6 to 10 people. Job opportunities are liited in this region, reported fro 5 to 10 days of work within 30 days, ainly perforing irregular and inforal activities such as asonry, weeding, cleaning services, anicuring and recycling.

9 Macro Area Profile: União União acro area is characterized by the large presence of Venezuelans, particularly in Tancredo Neves, Caibé, União and Satelite neighbourhoods. Shelterless populations were reported in the avenues Mario Hoe de Melo, Dos Iigrantes, São Sebastião and Mané Garrincha Square. As União contains the interunicipal bus terinal and departure point for any taxis to Pacaraia (border town with Venezuela), it is often a first stop for Venezuelans oving to Boa Vista. Many choose to reain due to the presence of faily ebers, as well as access to rental houses at a relatively low cost. However, access to job opportunities is liited: few Venezuelans reported to have worked in the past 30 days, with an average of 5-15 days work per onth.
