In this May 25, 2017, photo, Maria da Penha poses on the exact spot where her house used to be, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She was evicted from Vila Autodromo, a favela near the site where Olympic Park was built. City hall bulldozed her three-story house five months before the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics, but even then she refused to leave. She now lives in one of the whitewashed, identical bungalows the city built for some of the displaced. (AP Photo/Liliana Michelena)
