Poucas são as empresas e instituições que ainda não abordaram, de alguma forma, temáticas de diversidade e inclusão. Ainda assim, o reconhecimento de sua urgência social e estratégica esbarra em discursos que evidenciam o descompasso entre o passado que se nega, o presente que se constrói e o futuro que se almeja.
