An extensive study conducted by the Peregum Institute, in partnership with the Tide Setubal Foundation and the Brazilian Legislative Observatory, analyzed over 37,000 actions taken by Brazilian parliamentarians regarding the issue of racial equality. This research spans the current legislative session that began in 2023 and is set to conclude in 2027. The study categorizes legislative actions into different types, including opinions, amendments, votes, and speeches, assessing the depth and focus of the discussions related to racial equality.

The findings indicate that while there is a notable division among deputies on how to approach racial equality, the topic has been given reasonable attention within the legislative chamber. The analysis covered various sub-themes of racial equality, such as affirmative actions, combating racism, public safety, and income equality, thus providing a comprehensive view of how these issues are being dealt with. An algorithm was developed to classify the deputies' contributions and actions that are relevant to this significant societal matter.

Overall, this study underscores the importance of continuous dialogue and legislative action around racial equality in Brazil. The varied approaches reflect broader societal debates and indicate that while progress is being made, substantial disparities in viewpoints remain. This research could serve as a foundation for future policies aimed at improving racial equality and might influence how lawmakers prioritize these discussions amidst other pressing issues in Brazilian society.
