Audiodescrição | 📹 Repórter Justiça – Prêmio Equidade Racial

In a country marked by distinct histories, realities, and faces, recognizing and valuing differences means ensuring that everyone has the same opportunities, respect, and justice, regardless of skin color. Promoting racial equity is everyone's duty: the government, civil society, institutions, and the Judiciary. The Justice Reporter followed the second edition of the Judiciary's Racial Equity Award, promoted by the National Council of Justice. The initiative aims to recognize and value the courts' initiatives to combat institutional and structural racism. You will see that the award encourages innovative and sustainable practices, making the justice system more inclusive, representative, and committed to racial diversity. Our reporters show that first place in the Best Practices category went to the Regional Labor Court of the 1st Region, in Rio de Janeiro. The Court changed the name of the building to Esperança Garcia: a Black woman who was enslaved and recognized by the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) as the first female lawyer in Brazil. The program also showcases initiatives from other courts that have also received awards from the CNJ, such as the Superior Military Court. The STM has been increasing the participation of Black people in its ranks and signaling that the fight against institutional racism needs to be present even in the more traditional spaces of the Brazilian justice system.
