LISBON — A couple of days before his departure from Portugal ambassador Robert Sherman stressed the importance of promoting women’s entrepreneurship and said that he takes great pride in the work done by his diplomatic mission in that field to help hundreds of Portuguese women the “Connect to Success” (C2S) program was founded by his wife Kim Sawyer with the aim of strengthening women-owned businesses in Portugal “This program is the achievement I am most proud of from our time in Portugal It will be our legacy in Portugal,” said the ambassador who departs Lisbon today — the same day

was named a Women’s Business Enterprise Star by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) she was a recipient of the 2016 SmartCEO Boston Brava Awards Sawyer said C2S’s main goal was to give women “a sense of confidence.” It will be a privilege to continue this work with the support of the Luso-American Foundation (FLAD),” Sawyer said C2S not only has contributed to “women’s empowerment Sawyer will remain connected to the program as its executive director Among the nearly 800 women who have taken advantage of the program is Joana Borges Coutinho who put her faith in a sustainable tourism project in S Coutinho is the project mentor for Quinta do Bom Despacho the first internationally certified sustainable tourism unit in the Azores She said C2S provided her access to resources and experts that otherwise would not have been possible especially in the areas of social networking and digital marketing but rather accelerating the project,” Coutinho said noting that the program does focus itself on funding “Gender inequality is still very present in our society Every kind of support and positive discrimination is great,” she added C2S earned the European

December 13 the IBGE met with representatives from quilombola and indigenous communities to discuss the conduction of the 2020 Population Census will have a new questionnaire to provide enumerators basic information about their people Besides the IBGE and the traditional peoples participants from Incra (National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform) Conaq (National Coordination of Quilombos) Seppir (Secretariat forPolicies Geared to Racial Equality) the National Museum and Palmares Cultural Foundation were also present 169 when carrying out free consultations in a previously clear way with such populations “We've started a three-step process of public consultation to present the whole theoretical operational and geographic insertion of the quiombolas in the 2020 Census says the anthropologist in charge of the IBGE Work Group of Traditional Peoples and Communities Just as it happened with the indigenous peoples when the result of the first pilot tests in August came out and the changes for the second test The last phase will occur in August next year when the previous discussions will come to the end such consultations help understand the communities’ expectations in relation to an institute of statistics and geography: “they are populations with their own way of being doing things and living in their peculiar world not carrying out the consultation can lead us to break cultural and social rules of those populations  endangering the operation itself and the lives of the census takers as well” emphasizing that such a pact makes the IBGE's work easier and improves the quality of the data collected who is also part of the Work Group of Traditional Peoples and Communities important themes related to the mapping of the communities for the 2020 Census were addressed as the territorial base and the geographical concepts: “the procedures to be followed by census takers as well as the way the data will be disseminated were taken into consideration since those aspects are a relevant concern of the quilombolas" cultural and operational aspects of the 2020 Census the indigenous and quilombola representatives taking part in the consultations emphasized that the most important thing is to give visibility to the needs of each traditional community of the country “It is important to get the quilombolas to participate in the census It is an important victory in a long-aged fight It is even more pleasant to participate in a process of discussing how the survey will be carried out highlights the representative of the National Coordination of the Quilombos Knowing how many they are through the census she expects to go after public policies in the states and municipalities The indigenous representatives also stressed the importance of discussing better representation in the Census We are dealing with the recognition of the right to education All these things are very important for us We hope we will have more investment in these areas," said the representative of the Rio Negro Indigenous Federation highlighted the communication barrier with the indigenous peoples “There are indigenous communities that only speak their mother tongue and have some difficulties with Portuguese the Census questionnaire doesn't make sense for us This was one of the issues we pointed out” the Census team hopes to stimulate advances in the studies of traditional communities “It is important to emphasize that all this preparation work for the Census with the communities becomes especially relevant because the Brazilian State is not very much experienced in the acquisition and treatment of geographical information on traditional communities This will pave the way for several of surveys related to these populations," concludes IBGE geographer Damasco © 2018 IBGE - Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística Nós utilizamos cookies para melhorar sua experiência de navegação no
