Perceptions over racism in Brazil

The launch of the Perceptions of Racism in Brazil survey, conducted by the Peregum Institute in partnership with the SETA Project, brought important data on how society perceives and addresses racism. To discuss the findings and foster reflection, events were held that brought together experts, educators, activists, and representatives from various institutions.

More than simply presenting figures, these gatherings created opportunities for dialogue, exchange of experiences, and reinforcement of the importance of education and concrete actions in building a fairer and more equal society.

With unprecedented data and detailed analysis, the survey provides valuable input for public policies and initiatives aimed at advancing racial equity.
