The committee will have the task of promoting the construction of inclusive public policies “aimed at repairing social, gender, race/ethnicity and diversity distortions and inequalities”.
The Ministry of Integration and Regional Development launched this Monday (03) the Standing Committee on Gender, Race and Diversity. The proposal is to ensure that gender and racial equality issues are addressed, as well as respect for diversity, in the creation of public policy portfolios.
According to the ministry, it will be up to the commission to make a diagnosis, request opinions and studies and build an action plan with proposals to be included in programs and actions in the portfolio and related bodies, for the construction of inclusive public policies “aimed at redressing social, gender, racial/ethnic and diversity distortions and inequalities”.
During the opening ceremony, the Minister of Integration and Regional Development, Waldez Goezhighlighted 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 are going to turn this page too quickly, but we all need to work to stem the problem and start taking action to reduce it, 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 was the Minister of Racial Equality, Aniella Francostrengthened the role of transversality and partnerships with different departments for the implementation of public policies. “It is through acts like these, through demonstrating cooperation and will, that we will be successful”he said.
“Every time we have a win, how to set up a committee, how to look at a beautiful table like this and its surroundings, this gives the feeling of new airs indeed and that we are managing to put transversality into practice”, , concluded.
