Life with equality
is a human right.
For a world where everyone can fully enjoy their rights.
SDG 10. Reduce inequalities within and among countries
Reducing inequalities is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that guide the work of Instituto Aurora.
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights,” begins the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. To uphold this principle, it is urgent that all forms of inequality be mitigated around the world.
Equality to include
Equality to provide opportunities
Equality to foster autonomy
83% of the Brazilian population claim not to hold prejudices — yet 72% admit having made a prejudiced comment at some point.
This gap reveals a society that often fails to recognize its own biases. Research by Ambev and Ibope shows that homophobia is the most frequently reported form of prejudice, while sexism is the most commonly expressed — and least acknowledged. Moreover, half of those who witness a prejudiced comment remain silent.
If we do not understand the mechanisms that sustain inequality, how can we hope to reduce it?
Our perspective on SDG 10
2.064
young people were impacted in 2019 through our human rights lectures, grounded in the principles of SDG 10
Promoting spaces for dialogue that foster a culture of social inclusion for all people — regardless of age, gender, physical ability, race, ethnicity, religion, or economic status — is central to SDG 10. The goal also includes encouraging legislation, public policies, and actions aligned with these principles.
Our projects connect to these targets through initiatives such as dialogues with young people and adults, creating spaces for reflection on prejudice and behavior change. Through this work, we aim to:
-
foster healthy interpersonal relationships free from discrimination;
-
support the development of institutions committed to inclusion;
-
learn collectively by recognizing and celebrating differences;
-
encourage voting practices that prioritize the political representation of marginalized groups.
