Per extensive journalism on issues of gender, LGBTQ+, disabilities, Afro-descendant people and non-conforming bodies, it is crucial listen to marginalized communities. Journalism faces a fundamental challenge ininform without discrimination on issues such as patriarchy, homobitransphobia, racism and ableism. To do this we invited experts, colleagues, to share their experiences and discuss the most widespread prejudicesas well as providing tools to avoid them in our work. As journalists we have an ethical and social responsibility to represent people fairly and respectfully. The use of appropriate words and tones not only contributes to credibility and authority of our category, but also strengthens the relationship of trust with the public. A responsible and aware attitude can lead to a greater understanding of problems and contribute to social and cultural progress of the country.
