Digital skills didn’t just boost a small food business in La Guajira 🇨🇴, they brought a family closer.

"Collective rights do not weaken individual rights.

"They strengthen them.

"For many people of African descent, collective action has long been a source of resilience & progress."

Fortalecendo o diálogo global 🤝🏽🌍

Alinhando ações internacionais para a promoção da igualdade racial, estive hoje, ao lado do secretário Cledisson Júnior, em reunião com a comitiva do Fórum Permanente sobre Afrodescendentes (FPA).

Em uma troca gratificante, apresentamos o contexto cultural dos afrodescendentes no Brasil e detalhamos como nossas políticas públicas são implementadas na prática, no cotidiano das comunidades e territórios. Também destacamos o papel do Brasil como liderança nas pautas de justiça climática, compartilhando nossa atuação nas agendas internacionais, e principalmente, na COP30.

Fortalecer esses laços é fundamental para avançarmos em uma agenda internacional de equidade, compartilhando estratégias e construindo pontes com nossos irmãos e irmãs ao redor do mundo.

This #InternationalWomensDay, we demand more than celebration — we demand action. ✊💜

Being born a woman should not be a barrier. Yet, from legal discrimination ⚖️ to economic inequality 💰, millions of women and girls face systemic exclusion every day.

It’s time to demand change — now. #HerRightsOurFuture 🚺🌍

🚨UPDATE.

Es urgente establecer el acceso humanitario sin restricciones a zonas afectadas en #Catatumbo. La situación de desplazamiento y confinamiento es cada vez más preocupante. Seguimos trabajando para salvar vidas, brindar protección y soluciones a quienes más lo necesitan.

#Opinión | ¿Qué ha pasado a un año de la tragedia de la vía Quibdó - Medellín?

El estado de las vías en el Pacífico colombiano simboliza una barrera física y social para millones de personas, en su mayoría afrodescendientes. Las diferentes declaraciones de calamidad pública por parte de la gobernadora son un llamado urgente a la acción, pero también una denuncia implícita de décadas de inacción y un persistente aislamiento del resto del país.

En el documento se destaca:

[Cancillería Colombia @CancilleriaCol]

¡Lo logramos! En la #Cop16Colombia se acaba de aprobar la creación de un nuevo órgano subsidiario del Artículo 8J, y el reconocimiento a las contribuciones fundamentales de los pueblos y las comunidades afrodescendientes para el cuidado y la preservación de la biodiversidad.

Canciller @LuisGMurillo acompañó la votación en la sesión Plenaria en Cali.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Indigenous Peoples, people of African descent, and local communities are guardians of our nature.

Their traditional knowledge is a living library of biodiversity conservation.

They must be protected.

And they must be part of every biodiversity conversation. #COP16Colombia

The murder of #GeorgeFloyd in 2020 led to global protests for justice and an end to racism.

Four years later, this momentum has eroded, June Soomer, Chair of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, told the @UN Human Rights Council.
