Ministry of Integration launches Gender, Race and Diversity Committee

Ministry launches Permanent Committee on Gender, Race and Diversity

The Ministry of Integration and Regional Development launched this Monday (3) the Permanent Committee on Gender, Race and Diversity. The proposal is to ensure that issues of gender and ethnic-racial equality are met, in addition to respect for diversity in the creation of public policies for the portfolio.

According to the ministry, it will be up to the committee to carry out diagnoses, request opinions and studies and build an action plan with proposals to be incorporated into programs and actions of the portfolio and related entities, for the construction of inclusive public policies “aimed at repairing distortions and social, gender, racial/ethnic and diversity inequalities”.

During the opening ceremony, the Minister of Integration and Regional Development, Waldez Góez, highlighted the importance of transversality throughout this process. “A country of continental dimensions has many differences, many inequalities. Sometimes within the same state. In terms of macro indicators, GDP [Produto Interno Bruto], income, okay. But, when you go to the clippings, there are many injustices, from north to south of the country”.

“Obviously, none of us intends to turn this page too quickly, but we all have to be committed to curbing the problem and starting to act to reduce the problem, be it regional inequalities, be it the inclusion of blacks, indigenous peoples, caboclos, women, LGBTQIA+, people with some kind of disability.”

Also present at the ceremony, the Minister of Racial Equality, Anielle Franco, reinforced the role of transversality and partnerships with different ministries for the implementation of public policies. “It is through acts like these, through demonstrations of partnership and will, that we will succeed”, she said.

“Every time we have a victory, how to establish a committee, how to look at a table as beautiful as this one and its surroundings, this gives the feeling of new airs in fact and that we are managing to put transversality into practice” , he concluded.
