We introduce the advocacy initiative on tax justice, gender and race in Brazil, a collaboration between Inesc, the Tax Justice Network, Red de Justícia Fiscal de América Latina y El Caribe and Latinidadd.
This action consisted of delivering a shadow report and active participation in the 88th Session of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), to be held in May 2024.
In the submitted document, we explore how austerity measures and regressive tax policies directly affect women’s rights in Brazil, especially black women. In addition, we situate the country within the context of global tax policy and the current negotiations at the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation.
