Gender equity initiatives in Brazilian state courts

Entities: Pacto Interinstitucional Pró-Equidade Racial · Tribunal de Justiça do Paraná · Djamila Ribeiro · Sandro Alex · Rafael Greca

Overview

In late July 2026, the Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Pará convened a second forum on racial and gender equity, bringing together signatory institutions of the Interinstitutional Pact for Racial Equity, specialists, and social‑movement representatives. The event expanded the pact’s network to 61 partners and highlighted practices aimed at combating structural racism and gender‑based inequality.

A few days later, the Tribunal de Justiça do Paraná marked a historic milestone by holding its first ever all‑female session in the 6th Criminal Chamber. This inaugural bench of women judges underscored a concrete step toward gender parity within the state’s judiciary, complementing the broader discourse on equity initiated in Pará.

Together, these events illustrate a growing momentum among Brazil’s state courts to promote gender equity, moving from dialogue and partnership building to tangible institutional reforms.
