Mato Grosso do Sul Civil Police implements new anti-discrimination protocols

The Civil Police of Mato Grosso do Sul has implemented new institutional protocols to improve the treatment of victims of religious discrimination and protect ethnic-racial groups. Signed by General Delegate Lupérsio Degerone Lucio, these measures aim to ensure humanized, impartial, and non-discriminatory service across all police units.

One protocol specifically addresses religious discrimination, protecting all beliefs, spiritualities, or the absence of religion. It emphasizes the protection of historically vulnerable groups, including Afro-Brazilian religions, Indigenous spiritualities, Jewish, and Islamic communities. The guidelines seek to prevent institutional violence and ensure the correct legal classification of hate crimes.

A second protocol focuses on protecting vulnerable ethnic-racial groups, including Quilombola communities, Roma people, and Black populations. This measure standardizes procedures for investigating crimes motivated by racism or racial injury, requiring officers to consider the social context and potential hate speech during investigations.
