Dona Marta or "Favela Santa Marta" is a slum located in Botafogo in the South Zone Rio de Janeiro of Brazil. It has about 8000 residents, with 500 wooden houses, 2000 brick houses, 4 kindergartens, 3 bakeries, 2 sports fields, 1 block of a samba school, 3 military units and 1 smallmarket. The slum is one of the steepest city slums.
Recently, the slum has been undergoing a process of urbanization. Several houses were built, sanitation and sewage, water piping and installation of electrical cables. Most work done in recent years in Dona Marta was the construction of a cable car that facilitates the transport of residents to higher areas of the hill.
Another major change in Dona Marta was the occupation of military force. Since 2008 the slum has no more drug trafficking in the "bocas de fumo", i.e., points of sale of drugs.
Dona Marta was the setting for international events as part of the clip of "They Don't Care About Us"[1][2] by Michael Jackson and performed by Bike Downhill MTB of Redbull and the film Fast Five.
