Hoje, na HLSBr, inauguramos o quadro \u201cDireitos Humanos pelo Mundo (Human Rights Throughout the World)\u201d em que apresentaremos entrevistas de advogados e advogadas do Brasil que est\u00e3o fazendo a diferen\u00e7a atuando com direitos humanos pelo mundo afora. A ideia central do quadro \u00e9 apresentar diferentes hist\u00f3rias e em diversas \u00e1reas de direitos humanos, mostrando os caminhos poss\u00edveis para gerar impacto social em escala global por meio do direito.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nossa primeira entrevistada \u00e9 Camila Manfredini, que possui um Mestrado em Direito Internacional P\u00fablico pela Universidade de Amsterd\u00e3, um Bacharelado em Direito pela Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo e hoje \u00e9 Diretora Associada na fp Frank Partners, uma consultoria boutique especializada em direitos humanos, ESG e integridade. Na fp, Camila lidera a pr\u00e1tica de direitos humanos, conduzindo an\u00e1lises de riscos e impactos e investiga\u00e7\u00f5es e desenvolvendo estrat\u00e9gias de direitos humanos para empresas e investidores globais.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Desde cedo Camila desejava atuar com uma carreira de impacto social. Essa foi a raz\u00e3o que a levou a cursar direito na USP. Por\u00e9m, ao se deparar com a dificuldade em ingressar no mercado de terceiro setor no Brasil, acabou estagiando majoritariamente em escrit\u00f3rios privados em direito civil. No entanto, o destino acabou se encarregando de traz\u00ea-la de volta a seu prop\u00f3sito: \u201cAp\u00f3s me formar, vivenciei um momento decisivo quando n\u00e3o fui efetivada no escrit\u00f3rio em que trabalhava. Na \u00e9poca, isso foi um golpe dif\u00edcil, mas hoje reconhe\u00e7o que essa situa\u00e7\u00e3o abriu caminho para que eu buscasse meu verdadeiro sonho de atuar em direitos humanos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ent\u00e3o, na busca por uma coloca\u00e7\u00e3o na \u00e1rea de direitos humanos, Camila frequentou eventos e debates sobre responsabilidade social, impacto social, diversidade e ESG, temas que estavam apenas come\u00e7ando a ganhar espa\u00e7o no Brasil. Em um desses momentos de network, conheceu a Casa Flores, organiza\u00e7\u00e3o em que come\u00e7ou como volunt\u00e1ria e, posteriormente, se tornou Coordenadora Jur\u00eddica. Na sequ\u00eancia, Camila aceitou o desafio para atuar em um escrit\u00f3rio internacional em direitos humanos, trabalhando em uma a\u00e7\u00e3o coletiva do maior desastre ambiental da hist\u00f3ria do Brasil, no Rio Doce. Dali, Camila sentiu que era o momento de cursar seu LL.M. no exterior, escolhendo como destino a Holanda, na Europa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Para direcionar uma carreira de impacto social durante o mestrado, Camila destaca \u201ca import\u00e2ncia de participar de eventos, confer\u00eancias e discuss\u00f5es sobre o tema, al\u00e9m de expandir a rede de contatos. Para mim, as experi\u00eancias mais enriquecedoras durante o LLM aconteceram fora da sala de aula, onde tive a oportunidade de conhecer especialistas, estreitar la\u00e7os e participar de grupos de estudo e cl\u00ednicas que ofereciam projetos pr\u00e1ticos e aplic\u00e1veis ao mercado de trabalho.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Nossa entrevistada continuou trabalhando para o mesmo escrit\u00f3rio internacional durante todo o LL.M. por meio per\u00edodo. Depois de tr\u00eas anos na empresa, Camila sentiu que seria o momento de uma nova etapa em sua carreira, transitando para consultorias focadas em direitos humanos e empresas.\u00a0 \u201cMinha trajet\u00f3ria tem sido marcada pelo aprendizado cont\u00ednuo e pela busca por solu\u00e7\u00f5es que promovam a justi\u00e7a e a sustentabilidade nas pr\u00e1ticas empresariais. Hoje, vejo que todas essas experi\u00eancias me moldaram para atuar de forma estrat\u00e9gica e eficaz na preven\u00e7\u00e3o de abusos de direitos humanos por empresas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Na sua posi\u00e7\u00e3o atual na fp, Camila v\u00ea grandes oportunidades de impactar a Am\u00e9rica Latina e o Brasil, \u201cMuitas das empresas e investidores que atendo s\u00e3o europeus, mas suas opera\u00e7\u00f5es e cadeias de valor est\u00e3o localizadas no Sul Global, especialmente na Am\u00e9rica Latina. Isso me d\u00e1 a oportunidade de influenciar diretamente grandes empresas para que respeitem e promovam os direitos humanos em pa\u00edses como o Brasil.\u201d Al\u00e9m disso, ela busca ativamente auxiliar nos esfor\u00e7os de empresas brasileiras iniciando seus processos de due diligence em direitos humanos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Camila certamente \u00e9 uma inspira\u00e7\u00e3o para brasileiros e brasileiras que desejam construir uma carreira global de impacto social. Como mensagem de incentivo, ela diz \u201c(…) desafiem-se constantemente, acreditem em si mesmas e n\u00e3o hesitem em se candidatar para vagas, conectar-se com outras pessoas e mostrar quem s\u00e3o e onde querem chegar. Busquem oportunidades para expandir suas redes e conhecimentos, participem de eventos e debates, e nunca deixem de acreditar que podem faze\"\"<\/a>r a diferen\u00e7a. Quanto mais nos fizermos presentes e atuantes, mais conseguiremos transformar as discuss\u00f5es globais e promover um impacto positivo em nossas comunidades, nossos pa\u00edses e em toda a regi\u00e3o latino-americana.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, at HLSBr, we’re launching the “Human Rights Throughout the World” series, where we’ll feature interviews with Brazilian lawyers who are making a difference in human rights around the globe. The main idea is to showcase different stories across various human rights areas, highlighting possible paths to generate social impact on a global scale through law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our first interviewee is Camila Manfredini, who holds a Master’s in Public International Law from the University of Amsterdam, a Bachelor’s in Law from the University of S\u00e3o Paulo, and is currently an Associate Director at fp Frank Partners, a boutique consultancy specializing in human rights, ESG, and integrity. At fp, Camila leads the human rights practice, conducting risk and impact analyses, investigations, and developing human rights strategies for global companies and investors.<\/span><\/p>\n

From an early age, Camila wanted to pursue a career with social impact. This led her to study law at USP. However, faced with difficulties entering the non-profit sector in Brazil, she ended up interning mainly in private civil law firms. Yet, fate brought her back to her purpose: “After graduating, I experienced a turning point when I wasn’t hired permanently at the firm where I worked. At the time, it was a tough blow, but today I recognize that this situation paved the way for me to pursue my true dream of working in human rights.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In her search for a position in human rights, Camila attended events and debates on social responsibility, social impact, diversity, and ESG, topics that were just beginning to gain traction in Brazil. During one of these networking moments, she met \u201cCasa Flores\u201d, an organization where she started as a volunteer and later became Legal Coordinator. Subsequently, Camila took on the challenge of working at an international human rights firm, working on a class action for Brazil’s largest environmental disaster in Rio Doce. From there, Camila felt it was time to pursue her LL.M. abroad, choosing the Netherlands in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

To steer a social impact career during her master’s, Camila emphasizes “the importance of participating in events, conferences, and discussions on the topic, as well as expanding your network. For me, the most enriching experiences during the LLM happened outside the classroom, where I had the opportunity to meet experts, strengthen ties, and participate in study groups and clinics that offered practical projects applicable to the job market.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Our interviewee continued working part-time for the same international firm throughout her LL.M. After three years with the company, Camila felt it was time for a new stage in her career, transitioning to consultancies focused on human rights and businesses. “My journey has been marked by continuous learning and the search for solutions that promote justice and sustainability in business practices. Today, I see that all these experiences have shaped me to act strategically and effectively in preventing human rights abuses by companies.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In her current position at fp, Camila sees great opportunities to impact Latin America and Brazil, “Many of the companies and investors I serve are European, but their operations and value chains are located in the Global South, especially in Latin America. This gives me the opportunity to directly influence large companies to respect and promote human rights in countries like Brazil.” Additionally, she actively seeks to assist in the efforts of Brazilian companies initiating their human rights due diligence processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Camila is certainly an inspiration for Brazilians who wish to build a global career on public interest. As a message of encouragement, she says “(…)Challenge yourselves constantly, believe in yourselves, and don’t hesitate to apply for positions, connect with others, and show who you are and where you want to go. Seek opportunities to expand your networks and knowledge, participate in events and debates, and never stop believing that you can make a difference. The more we make ourselves present and active, the more we’ll be able to transform global discussions and promote positive impact in our communities, our countries, and throughout the Latin American region.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
