Marielle Franco Working Group (GTMF)
The Marielle Franco Working Group – GTMF was founded in May 2018, when the Climate and Society Institute (iCS) decided to broaden the thematic discussion of racial diversity by hiring a consulting firm. Since then, the GTMF was structured and officially became the focal point for logistics, organization, affirmative action planning promoting the important change in organizational culture and also promoting awareness actions in the field of institutions that orbit the iCS.
The mission of GTMF
is to promote racial equity and to accelerate inclusion initiatives in the institutional development of iCS, internally stimulating the reflection and the racial equality in the profile of iCS employees, with special attention to decision-making positions. Externally, it develops a practical exercise in the raising of the awareness of the supported organizations , in order to encourage reflections regarding paths and practices of diversity of gender, race and inclusion.
With the support of consultancy by Carreira Preta, the GTMF currently coordinates the construction of an institutional policy of racial diversity and equity. This is transversal to the operating areas of iCS, with impacts on the organizations operating in the climate agenda.
Team
To carry out its activities, the GTMF is composed of representatives from different areas of iCS:
