Summary
The Selo de Direitos Humanos e Diversidade (Human Rights and Diversity Seal) program is an effort by the Municipal Secretariat of Human Rights and Citizenship (SMDHC) of the City of São Paulo, which aims at recognizing and awarding innovative projects and good practices in the private sector, third sector organizations, and public agencies that foster equality and diversity through the inclusion of minorities—a priority audience in public policy formulation—in the labor market, for example, or even through the promotion of the debate over diversity.
In force since 2018, the program is related to the slogan of 2030 Agenda of the United Nations, “Leave No One Behind,” focused on annual cycles. The fifth edition of the program was in 2022.
Program activities are implemented based on two main objectives. First, the opening of a public tender for the selection and adjudication of proposals, and second, the creation and development of activities of Rede do Selo (Seal Network), a network composed of different organizations centered on twelve categories: 1. childhood and adolescence; 2. racial equality; migrants; 4. youth; 5. LGBTI; 6. women; 7. persons with disabilities; 8. the homeless; 9. the elderly; 10. incarcerated persons and former prisoners; 11. indigenous peoples; 12. transversalities.
Each cycle of the Selo de Direitos Humanos e Diversidade ends with the launching of the following edition of the program. Each edition seeks for participant organizations to further develop their proposals and even expand them to other program categories. Those organizations that participated in the previous edition of the program may sign up again and request an adjudication for the same category if they demonstrate that significant progress has been made in their activities, with the possibility of submitting a new proposal or expand toward other program categories.
