The Center for Racial Justice and Law is now FGV Racial Justice - Center for Applied Research in Racial Law and Justice.

The Center of Racial Justice and Law believes that, to fight structural racism in Brazil, it is necessary to deal with the country's cultural, social, economic, political, and legal roots. Law is one of the many ways by which racism expresses itself, but at the same time, it is one of the tools to fight it. Therefore, the nucleus does not have the ambition to address racism in all its complexity, but rather to shed light on one of its commonly overlooked aspects: the perpetuation of racism through the institutions and regulations of Law. Therefore, the logic of change that we adopt at the nucleus is, first, to make structural racism explicit in Law and in the judicial system through legal research that puts racial inequality in the center of the analysis. Then, to spread the results beyond academic circles, through various media strategies, to hold legal institutions accountable publicly, so that they are susceptible to long-term changes. The nucleus also aims to produce legal doctrines committed to racial equality, as well as to make them available to the actors at the center of this independent debate.
