Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This work is part of a research that investigates the relationship between the right of access to public information and gender and racial inequalities, analyzing the contexts of implementation of the Access to Information Law (LAI) or Law 12,557/2011 in Brazil and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in the United States. The study seeks to understand the content of the requests made to the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) on racial matters, in the period from 2018 to 2023, to evaluate the implementation of the right of access to information of vulnerable populations, especially black people. The analysis covers quantitative aspects, such as the number of applications per year and the main agencies involved, and qualitative aspects, highlighting keywords and recurring themes. The research also reflects on how the right of access to information is manifested in Brazil, considering racial inequalities in the implementation of public policies. Finally, a comparison is made between the challenges identified in Brazil and the United States, highlighting elements of structural racism present in these institutional contexts, contributing to the debate on the realization of rights in unequal societies.
