S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Itamaraty) launched, early this week, the campaign #MaisMulheresDiplomatas (#MoreWomenDiplomats), with the aim of encouraging more women to enroll in the Entrance Test to a Diplomat Career (CACD, in the Portuguese acronym), to promote gender equality in diplomacy. Itamaraty has been posting videos with testimonies of diplomat women of diverse background, profile and training\u00a0on\u00a0its social media \u2013 Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be fifteen videos in total and, in fact, I have recorded one of them,\u201d says Adriana Sader Tescari, an adviser and head of the Levant division, responsible for the Arab countries, at Itamaraty. \u201cThe campaign came about after the finding that many women are discouraged to take the test due to prejudice; they say that this career doesn\u2019t fit us, that it\u2019s not an ideal life to start a family, which is not true,\u201d states Tescari.<\/p>\n

The adviser said that the videos depict women from diverse profiles exactly to show that there isn\u2019t a sole profile to be diplomat. \u201cThe campaign shows women diplomats with many accents, formations, regions, with or without kids,\u201d she says. The videos posted until this Thursday (28) bring the testimonies of First Secretary Marcela Pompeu<\/a>, Third Secretary Laura Delamonica<\/a> and Ambassador Gisela Padovan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Swearing-in ceremony at Rio Branco Institute has record number of women<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the last decades, women diplomats have been gaining more space and visibility in the Brazilian Chancellery; in 2017, the entrance test had a record-breaking percentage of women; the class of 2017-2019 of Rio Branco Institute had 11 women or 36.7% of the total of 30 people; however, the number of women in diplomatic careers is far from reaching equality. Itamaraty currently has 360 women employees, which represents only 23% of all of Brazil\u2019s diplomats.<\/p>\n

The Management Committee of Gender and Race (CGGR, in the Portuguese acronym), is the body responsible for the #MaisMulheresDiplomatas campaign. It was created in 2014 as a permanent and advisory body of Itamaraty and has been coordinating programs and policies focused on the promotion of gender and race equality in the Brazilian Chancellery.<\/p>\n
