Maria Lucrécia Eunice Facciolla Paiva (November 7, 1929 – December 13, 2018) was a Brazilian lawyer and activist who challenged the Brazilian military dictatorship.[3][4][5] After Brazil's military dictatorship disappeared her husband, the former federal deputy Rubens Paiva, without a word as to his whereabouts, Eunice confronted a dire need to support herself and her children; she enrolled and graduated from the Faculty of Law at Mackenzie Presbyterian University, then built a career as a prominent advocate for the human rights of the victims of political repression, doggedly campaigned to open the military dictatorship's closed records, and then championed the rights of Brazil's indigenous peoples.[6][7][8]
