Consultative Council of Law 19.122 for Afro-descendants

The Consultative Council was created with Law 19.122 for Afro-descendants "Rules to favor their participation in the educational system and labor force" in 2013. It is composed of three representatives from civil society organizations, with proven competence in the Afro-descendant subject. The Council's task is to advise the Ministerial Commission on the implementation of the law, propose actions, participate in the organization of activities within the framework of law enforcement and collaborate with the monitoring of compliance. The law establishes different measures in favor of the Afro-descendant population in the educational and labor field to work against discrimination. The first members of the Council were appointed in 2015.
