Western societies have experienced a significant increase in urban violence. In Brazilian society, this has been one of the most recurrent topics in the media, the academy, and also as an object of social mobilization. In response to this violence, civil society elaborates mechanisms, the most varied, the resoluteness of their damages and harms, such as training of NGOs, therapeutic groups, and pressure groups, whose goal is to direct government institutions, especially legal the full accomplishment of its objectives. In the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, there is a group called "Mothers in Pain", formed by mothers, bereaved, who have lost their children because of the violence. They transform their pain, their grief, their longing, fighting for justice and an end to urban violence.
