Mais Direitos e Menos Zika (More rights, less Zika)

Brazilian funk sensation Dream Team do Passinho has released a new song in partnership with UNFPA. Released on World Population Day 2016, the song is titled "Mais Direitos e Menos Zika," which translates to "More rights, Less Zika." It calls attention to the fact that Zika disproportionately affects marginalized communities in Brazil, and it encourages the use of condoms to prevent the sexual transmission of Zika.
