"Outside Maracana: Rio's Favela Residents"
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - NOVEMBER 06: Teenage girls from the Cerro-Cora 'favela', or community, dance a ceremonial dance with UPP officers during a debutante ball at Ilha Fiscal castle organized by the Pacifying Police Unit (UPP) from their community on November 6, 2014 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The gala was held in the castle on Guanabara Bay and relied on volunteers who prepared makeup, hair dressing and loaned dresses, in an effort to build goodwill between 'favela' residents and the community's police force. Thirteen girls, aged around 15-years-old, attended the ball along with police officers, family members and supporters. The neo-Gothic castle was inaugurated in 1889 and is famed for holding the last Imperial Ball in November of 1889, just six days before Brazil became a Republic. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
